You do not need to create a DBI Module to connect to a database. You simply need to install the module provided by CPAN.

Hi.
For the creation of .pm files look at the following site:

:
For the directory to put your module:
1. you can put in any directory.
2. The directory should be appended to the '@INC' variable

Asking the same question over and over is not going to get a reply.

First, you don't need to compile perl modules or perl scripts.

Second, the question is a bit out of the scope of a help forum. Get some perl references and start reading is my best suggestion. "Perl BookShelf References" on CD is a good source of information.

Hi Vpmurdan...

I Referred To The Site U Refered To... Saw How Module Has To Be Created... Can U Guide Me As To How I Can Use The Existing Module... Eg Dbi Module.. And Secondly U Suggested Me To Append My Directory To @inc. Can U Suggest How Can I Do That... .

[vpmurdan]

For appending to @INC: Type the following code in a command-line perl to see how the append works and apply to your program:

print @INC;
push(@INC, "c:/prakash/temp");
print @INC;

Ctrl+d

For using a module:
use the following:

use moduleName;

Just see any sample

For appending to @INC: Type the following code in a command-line perl to see how the append works and apply to your program:

print @INC;
push(@INC, "c:/prakash/temp");
print @INC;

Ctrl+d

Unless there is a specific reason why you need to modify the @INC at runtime, do not use this method for adding a directory to the @INC.

Instead, always use the lib pragma. This is performed at compile time, and does a few sanity checks that you can read about in the included link to the documentation:

use lib "c:/prakash/temp";

You should read the documentation supplied with the module.

gunzip <module>.tar.gz
tar xvf <module>.tar
cd <module>
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install
