I wanted to build an awesome place for people to discuss module specific issues, but I don't have any more time for this, and there are much better places to discuss Perl-related issues. I'd recommend asking your question on Stack Overflow or on Perl Monks.
If you are looking for a Perl tutorial or Perl-related news, I hope these links will serve you well.

Help needed for installation

Hello,

I'm trying to install Rubric (0.8) on windows 2000, with ActivePerl 5.8.0... could 'make install' it with not much troubles, after looking for some missing packages in my Perl distribution.

When I connect to my install: http://localhost/rubric/rubric.cgi, I encounter the following error:
Can't locate object method "connection" via package "Rubric::DBI" at C:/Perl/site/lib/Rubric/DBI.pm + line 29.


I guess the error is because my system can't find (or use) the rubric.yml file, since DBI works well with
$dbh = DBI->connect("dbi:SQLite:dbname=t/db/rubric.db","$un","$ps");


The content of my rubric.yml is the following:
dsn: dbi:SQLite:dbname=w:/usr/local/Rubric/t/db/rubric.db template_path: w:/usr/local/Rubric/templates
and a copy of this file is stored in the rubric (home) directory, with rubric.cgi scrip, and another copy in the lib/Rubric directory of Perl... just in case, but this was not enough to work.

I run out of idea, how can I fix this please?


thanks for your attention.
Berteh.

Re: Help needed for installation

As far as I can tell, Activestate's PPM repository ships an old version (0.95) of Class::DBI labeled as 0.96. I would try downloading the Class::DBI distribution and installing it manually.
