have perl 5.8.3 - does it come with dbi and dbd?

[Bob Carback]

HP-UX 11.23 IA64 -- This comes installed with Perl 5.8.3. Does this include DBI and DBD? If not, where can I get DBI and DBD?

Hi Bob:

You can obtain these modules from CPAN:

http://search.cpan.org/

As for quick-testing any Perl for the presence of module, you can do:

# perl -MFoo -e 1

...If the module Foo is installed, nothing is returned. If not, you see something like:

Can't locate Foo.pm in @INC ...
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted.

Regards!
