  1. Download and install Strawberry Perl or ActiveState Perl. During installation, accept all the defaults. Allow setup to reboot your computer.
  2. Connect your computer to the Internet so you can download the required Perl modules from ActiveState using PPM in the next step.
  3. Run ppm (the Perl package manager) from the command prompt. You will get a command line screen running ppm with a PPM> prompt or a graphical user interface.
  4. Make sure you have DBI and DBD-ODBC packages installed.
  5. On command line you can type “install DBD-ODBC” or “install DBI”. This will download and install DBD-ODBC and DBI packages, if required. These will allow RAdmin to connect to any ODBC compliant SQL server
  6. Close the PPM window. Perl is now installed.
