getting dbi mods for windows

on Nov 15, 2012 at 21:33 UTC ( [id://1004063]=perlquestion: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

ApathOut has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

i want to try to communicate in windows 7 with mysql database, just to get the feel of it. I'm attempting to download the dbi modules that afford one connection to mysql, but the downloaded db_files (and i suspect the others too) comes in gzipped. How do i gunzip those files in windows; or should i be looking for a windows compressed file someplace other than cpan?

    What version of Perl are you using? If ActiveState, then the Perl Package Manager is probably your best bet.

    Otherwise, try one of the command-line CPAN clients. Type "cpan" at the command line.

    perl -E'sub Monkey::do{say$_,for@_,do{($monkey=[caller(0)]->[3])=~s{::}{ }and$monkey}}"Monkey say"->Monkey::do'

    For installing modules, follow tobyink’s advice and use a CPAN command-line client. I’ve found cpanm excellent. See App::cpanminus.

    But for (un-)zipping in general under Windows, you can’t do better than 7-Zip from http://www.7-zip.org/.

    Hope that helps,
