Installing DBI module on Windows XP

[Manzoorul Hassan]

I would like to install the DBI module on my Windows XP system. I am
really looking for a module that will let me connect to a MSDE (or MS
SQL) DB.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. TIA.

Assuming you have the Activestate distribution of Perl:

ppm
install DBI

If you have another distribution (say, Cygwin):
perl -MCPAN -e'install DBI'

You'll want to get DBD::ODBC along with DBI.
