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

[Chris Fields]

The problem, truthfully, is that the number of our Windows users is much higher than our Windows developers.  Just a quick question: have you tried Strawberry Perl?  It's supposed to be much more UNIX-like in it's behavior than ActivePerl.

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.
