Re^4: Can't locate Convert/BER.pm

in reply to Re^3: Can't locate Convert/BER.pm
in thread Can't locate Convert/BER.pm

Another angle I was thinking about, to solving this problem, was installing perl from scratch, on one of my "non-work" PCs as an experiment. However, it looks like there are two options to install Perl - Active State and Strawberry. I have windows at home - well, windows home & work. So, if my goal is to easily install modules - like the DBD JDBC, it seems like Active State is the way to go if you have windows. My home PC would have the a more recent version of Perl - with active state, would it be as simple as double clicking on the PPM batch, doing a search on the DBD JDBC module, clicking on install, and installing the module? I know with other modules in the past - that is all that I had to do. When I took this approach, on my work computer(which is using an older version of Perl) - I didn't see the DBD::OJBC module.

    No - they don't use PPM any more.
    I gather you follow some procedure whereby you request of ActiveState that they provide you with the module you want, and they oblige if they can.
    Update: see https://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=11145868

    With StrawberryPerl you would just run:
    cpan -I DBD::JDBC
    On my StrawberryPerl-5.32.1 that firstly installs the prerequisite Convert::BER.
    But DBD::JDBC fails some tests, so the install is aborted.
    Those tests apparently fail because java.exe cannot be found:

    However, if I decide that I'm not concerned about those failures I can install DBD::JDBC by instead running:
    cpan -fi DBD::JDBC
    The tests still fail, of course, but the module is installed anyway.

    I expect that ActiveState would experience the very same test failures with their building of DBD::JDBC - unless, of course, they have a java.exe in one of the locations that is searched.
    I don't know how they would respond to that.

    Cheers,
    Rob
      Looking at CPAN requirements, it says to install the following: Java Virtual Machine compatible with JDK 1.4 A JDBC driver If I install the the java JDK - would that satisfy all of these requirements? The Java Virtual Machine & the JDBC driver?

        There's two requirements and you need to install them separately. The base JDK you get from Oracle (or openjdk, although I'm not familiar with how/if that works on wintendo . . .); the JDBC driver is probably something you'd need to retrieve from your specific database vendor / implementation (although there's exceptions such as the sqlite3 driver that's a separate project).

      Yahoo, finally am making some progress. I was able to do a force install - it looks like I learned a few items. When running cpan with strawberry perl - if you go to the start menu, and you'll see an icon that says perl command - that is where you'll want to run. Also - running cpan -I DBD::JDBC will not work on windows, nor will cpan -fi DBD::JDBC - rather running the following appears to work: CPAN> install DBD::JDBC CPAN> force install DBD::JDBC The full word "install" & "force" need to be typed out. So, I still need to look into - but am getting closer.

        Forcing an install isn't always wise, especially if you don't understand why it's failing. The testers matrix has passes for Strawberry perl, where the prerequisites are satisfied.

      Hi,
      I installed Strawberry Perl, then I ran the following command: C:\Users\pMalle001>cpan -I DBD::JDBC However, it looked like it errored, and referenced an older version of Perl, the C:\Perl_New\cpan\sources\authors\01mailrc.txt.gz.tmp10428' How can I make sure that it references the Strawberry Perl, and not the C:\Perl_New?
