Got Perl 5.8.8.822 64bit version but I can't seem to get ppm working and get the 3 ppds installed. Tried using the gui by just typing ppm in the command prompt and it says the GUI is unavailable in this installation of perl. So i tried to do it manually by downloading the ppd zips at http://ppm.activestate.com/PPMPackages/zips/8xx-builds-only/

I tried the DBD-mysql.ppd and it said that the ppd does not provide code to install on this platform. Any ideas?

a tragic mistake, not only vista, but 64bit vista...as if vista doesnt have enough compatibility issues right?

I know, friend.

I hope you can upgrade to XP soon :)
