Did any one have any luck installing DBI on this port? Tried with PPM
(niPerl 5.8.7.2) but failed.
The frustrating part is that the Win32 modules in ActiveState seems to
be broken :(
Any suggestions short from compiling?
Cheers

I do not know what niPerl is and have no inclination to search for it.

I have never had any problems installing DBI or any Win32 modules on
Windows using either ActiveState Perl or cygwin Perl.

You might want to start by reading the posting guidelines, and then writing
an informative post about the problems you encountered.

Have a look here: http://ppm.activestate.com/BuildStatus/5.8.html
Search for the Win32-GUI modules on the page. Now have a look here:
http://ppm.activestate.com/BuildStatus/5.8-windows/windows-5.8/Win32-GUI-1.03.txt
and
http://ppm.activestate.com/BuildStatus/5.8-windows/windows-5.8/Win32-GUI-XMLBuilder-0.37.txt
The latter one is the module that I'm interested in. niPerl packages a
working installation for the Win32::GUI modules, including
Win32::GUI::XMLBuilder but it does not ship with DBI. So I was trying to
get some of the ActiveState modules working with niPerl, but with no
success.
I was wondering if anybody was able to get a working DBI package from
somewhere.

I did mention niPerl was a port on Windows, but maybe it was not clear
enough - point taken.
Thanks anyway.

Hi Reini,
Thanks for your reply in explaining how to convert from PhpWiki to
MediaWiki:

I just have one problem.
I don't find the xhtml dump feature in my (probably old and well
cusxtomized (or let's say modified)) version.
Could you please elaborate further?
- What I could do is:
- spidergrab all pages with for example wget and a tiny shell script,
resulting in one file. Would this be the xhtml, that you talk about or
would that be only HTML? Additionally I see the problem, that each file
would contain the entire template text as well, which I'm of course not
interested in.
- use the zip export feature and contain the raw wiki text files with
some leading header lines like:
------------ zip entry starts here --------------

Message-Id: <bobano.26elmj@helpfeeds.com>
Hi everyone,
I am using the Net::POP3 module and I have included a statement in this
program "$pop3->top($msgnum)". According to the module documentation,
the top($msgnum) function has a return value that is supposed to
display the header of all the e-mail messages in the POP3 account. I
tested it and it does work but it displays the ENTIRE header
information and I do not wish to have that. How can I parse that return
value out so that it only displays the "From" and "Subject" fields from
the e-mail headers instead of the entire header which includes lots of
useless information that I don't want to display?
