[Bioperl-l] Error message installing BioPerl on Windows x86 with ActivePerl 5.12.4

[Scott Cain]

Hi Vicky,

Annoyingly, ActiveState doesn't include DB_file with their build of
Perl anymore, even though it is a core perl module.  I believe you can
get it for perl 5.10 via a different repo.  Try this on the command
line:

  ppm rep add trouchelle.com http://trouchelle.com/ppm10/

and then install DB_file with ppm.  Please let us know if that works
so we can update the wiki.

Good luck,
Scott
