niPerl on Windows

[Nico Coetzee]

Did any one have any luck installing DBI on this port? Tried with PPM
(niPerl 5.8.7.2) but failed.

The frustrating part is that the Win32 modules in ActiveState seems to
be broken

Any suggestions short from compiling?

Cheers

I do not know what niPerl is and have no inclination to search for it.

I have never had any problems installing DBI or any Win32 modules on
Windows using either ActiveState Perl or cygwin Perl.

I have never had any problems installing DBI or any Win32 modules on
Windows using either ActiveState Perl or cygwin Perl.

Have a look here: http://ppm.activestate.com/BuildStatus/5.8.html

Search for the Win32-GUI modules on the page. Now have a look here:

http://ppm.activestate.com/BuildStatus/5.8-windows/windows-5.8/Win32-GUI-1.03.txt

and

http://ppm.activestate.com/BuildStatus/5.8-windows/windows-5.8/Win32-GUI-XMLBuilder-0.37.txt

The latter one is the module that I'm interested in. niPerl packages a
working installation for the Win32::GUI modules, including
Win32::GUI::XMLBuilder but it does not ship with DBI. So I was trying to
get some of the ActiveState modules working with niPerl, but with no
success.

I was wondering if anybody was able to get a working DBI package from
somewhere.

I did mention niPerl was a port on Windows, but maybe it was not clear
enough - point taken.

Thanks anyway.
