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

[Vicky Hollenbeck]

Hi Scott,

Thank you.  I added the trouchelle.com/ppm10/ as well as 
trouchelle.com/ppm12/ repositories.  When I say install ppm DB_file I 
get a reply that no packages are missing.  Then I installed BioPerl 
over.  I still get the error messages below.  When doing a ppm list, the 
DB_file shows in the list, but nothing under the 'files' column.  Still 
it looks like BioPerl installed.  I am interested in running scripts 
with Bio:SearchIO and I don't see any lines for use DB_file, so maybe it 
is a mute point for my purposes.  Just a note that I'm running 
ActivePerl 5.12.4 as it is the 'Community' version on their website.
