To whom it may concern:
I'm new to PERL programming and am trying to get my PERL application to connect to an Access database. The PERL I've been using was a free copy you find in the Learning PERL (Dietel).
I don't know what version comes with the book (run 'perl -v'), but the latest version of perl for Windows (and python) is available at <http://www.activestate.com>.
I've registered the database in ODBC and I've installed Python on my PC (I'm using Windows XP) but for some reason it still errors out at this point of the code:
use DBI; use DBD::ODBC;
You don't say what the error is, but I'm assuming it is because you have not installed either or both of those modules. If you are using ActiveState Perl for Windows, you can run 'ppm' in a console window. Then, from within ppm, type 'install DBI' and 'install DBD-ODBC' to install those modules.
Regards, Randy.
