If you want to install it using nmake.exe you will need to have a C compiler installed for some modules.
I was able to install DBI using ppm under Perl 5.6.1 and ppm2 under Perl 5.8.0. I've installed it under Windows 2000 however.

I would appreciate any help you can provide. I had the following error installing DBI.pm (DBI-1.32 version) on WinXP machine and was wondering if you got a solution? I used makefile.pl and was successful but the following fatal error occurred when using nmake: C:\Perl\bin\perl.exe -Ic:\Perl\lib -Ic:\Perl\lib C:\Perl\lib\ExtUtils/xs ubpp -typemap C:\Perl\lib\ExtUtils\typemap Perl.xs > Perl.xsc && C:\Perl\bin\pe rl.exe -Ic:\Perl\lib -Ic:\Perl\lib -MExtUtils::Command -e mv Perl.xsc Perl.c cl -c -nologo -O1 -MD -DNDEBUG -DWIN32 -D_CONSOLE -DNO_STRICT -DHAVE_DE S_FCRYPT -DPERL_IMPLICIT_CONTEXT -DPERL_IMPLICIT_SYS -DPERL_MSVCRT_READFIX -O1 - MD -DNDEBUG -DVERSION=\"1.32\" -DXS_VERSION=\"1.32\" -IC:\Perl\lib\CORE Pe rl.c 'cl' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe' : return code '0x1' Stop. I tried to install using ppm but can't get it to run. I think it requires a compiled dbi mod but I haven't found one yet.
