Hello,

I'm in Win98, I'd downloaded the SIEPERL from CPAN and installed. And
I had downloaded MYSQL DBI also from CPAN, but do not know how to
install it into SIEPERL. I had read PPM will do, so I tried 'ppm'
alone in command prompt, then I got the following error message.

Failed to load PPM_DAT file
Can't use an undefined value as a SCALAR reference at
C:/SieperL/perl/site/5.8.0
/lib/PPM.pm line 1624, <DATA> line 40.

So now I request someone to help me.

Greetings,
R. Kumaran
