You need to download a package for the correct build number. You can find
DB_File for the 6xx builds here:

installing perlfect (db_file) on windows 2000 [was -> Re: windows 2000 server - DB_FILE installation fails]

Hi,

I have finally managed to install Perlfect Search on
my Win2K box *s|gh*.

Following are the steps I took to do so. I dont know
whether they correct or not, but they worked for me. 

1. Perl 5.004 or higher is needed for Perlfect Search.
I downloaded and installed Perl, version:

perl, v5.6.1 built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread
Binary build 633 provided by ActiveState Corp.
http://www.ActiveState.com
Built 21:33:05 Jun 17 2002

URL:
http://activestate.com/Products/Download/Register.plex?id=ActivePerl
URL:
http://downloads.activestate.com/ActivePerl/Windows/5.6/ActivePerl-5.6.1.633-MSWin32-x86.msi

Perl was installed in H:\Perl.

2. As stated in the README file for Perlfect Search, I
tried to install DB_FILE but got the following errors:

PPM> install DB_FILE
Install package 'DB_FILE?' (y/N): y
Installing package 'DB_FILE'...
Error installing package 'DB_FILE': Read a PPD for

Re: windows 2000 server - DB_FILE installation fails

Hi,

Thanks for your response :)

I downloaded:
http://ppm.activestate.com/PPMPackages/zips/6xx-builds-only/DB_File.zip

Here is what the README file said:
<README>

To install this ActiveState PPM package, run the
following command in the current directory:

    ppm install DB_File.ppd

</README>

After extracting the zip file, I tried doing exactly
that.. but got the same results:

D:\Perl>ppm install db_file.ppd
Installing package 'db_file.ppd'...
Error installing package 'db_file.ppd': Read a PPD for
'db_file.ppd', but it is
not intended for this build of Perl
(MSWin32-x86-multi-thread)

Then I tried editing DB_File.PPD:

I changed lines 5, 6 to:

Hmmm... I just tested the above file -- didn't work on my test machine
either.

I found something that works:

Go to http://jenda.krynicky.cz/perl/ and get the files:

DB_File-1.806-PPM.5.6.tar.gz and
DB_File.ppd

I saved the files in D:\data and installed DB_File with the following
command:

ppm install d:\data\DB_File.ppd

I tested with build 628.
