[edit] ActivePerl Perl Package Manager

The 'ppm' that comes with ActivePerl 5.8+ is a GUI interface that makes it very easy to install extra perl modules. PsychoStats needs 2 non-standard Perl modules installed so you must install these manually.

Required Perl Modules:

  • DBI
  • DBD-mysql

Click on the screen shot above to see the steps you need to take to install these 2 modules. Follow the numbers overlaid on the screen shot and the modules will install and download with ease.

You basically:

  1. 1. Select 'uninstalled modules' button
  2. 2. Type in the module name
  3. 3. Highlight the module to install
  4. 4. Select the 'add to install' button
  5. 5. And finally, click the 'run' button to have the modules installed.
