Installing Modules with ActiveState Perl

[perlone]

I installed perl under windows 98 and i'm new to this whole module stuff. I installed MLBDM using the PPM Interactive Shell. After installing, my script still not working and here's the code:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";

use MLDBM qw(DB_File Storable);
use Fcntl;

my %car=();
tie (%car, "MLDBM", "car_data",
O_CREAT|O_RDWR, 0666, $DB_File:B_BTREE) ||
die "Could not open or create database.";
$car{'JN1HU11P1HX875232'} =
{ 'make' => 'Nissan',
'model' => 'Maxima',
'year' => '1997',
'color' => 'evergreen'
};
$car{'1GNDM15Z2HB187252 '} =
{ 'make' => 'Chevrolet',
'model' => 'Astro',
'year' => '1999',
'color' => 'black'
};
print "Inventory contains: \n";
foreach (keys %car) {
print $_ . ":\t".$car{$_}{make}." ".$car{$_}{model}."\n";
}

untie (%car);

Is it the code or installation? To test all my script, I use the service from F2S.com. Does they have to install too? Thanks for reading and hope you can help.

assuming you're executing the scripts on f2s computers, the script won't have access to any of the modules on your personal computer. you should get yourself a webserver so you can test your scripts on your computer, rather than on someone else's computer. apache works well, even in win98, for just testing scripts.

And if you're going to test them on your win98 machine you'll need to change the first line to #!C:\perl\bin\perl -w Tracy Dryden
