Hi, sorry for posting this question to the wrong list. I am running Windows XP and perl 5.6.8, when I ppm install DBD, by typing this at my dos prompt: C:\Perl\modules>ppm install DBD-ODBC I get this error: C:\Perl\moduleError: No valid repositories: Error: 500 Can't connect to ppm.ActiveState.com:80 (connect: Unknown error) Error: 500 Can't connect to ppm.ActiveState.com:80 (connect: Unknown error)s>ppm install DBD-ODBC I have downloaded DBD-ODBC from activestate, is there some setting that I am missing to allow my machine to connect through my proxy server and firewall.
