Author Module installation problem

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

None of my business, of course, but why don't you use ActivePerl? You
won't run into these kind of problems if you do.
