Hi,

How can I find out what DBI's are installed and how to install additional ones?


Thanks

To install additional ones, you can download them from http://www.cpan.org/modules/by-module/DBD/. Each has installation instructions with it. There's also a "cpan" program available on some systems for installing Perl modules, but I've never tried using it.

Just be careful which Perl modules you install, as some may require a more recent version of Perl than that which comes with the RAQ.
The RAQ does not include a number of the 'standard' ones and has its own collection of Cobalt specific modules for the control panel etc.
If you aren't comfortable using the command line version of CPAN, there is a GUI available as part of webmin (http://www.webmin.com) that gives helpful error messages etc.
