in thread DB_File for windows?

Actually it didn't come with my version of Active Perl and there must be an easier way than to install that module and goof around for endless hours.
What PodMaster is saying is to use ppm to install DB_File. ppm is not a module, it is a command to install modules which are packaged in a specific format in a repository. By default it uses the ActiveState repository, see PodMaster's sig for others. If you didn't get ppm when you installed ActivePerl, something is wrong.
