| The current list of modules that you may need to install includes the following: | The current list of modules that you may need to install includes the following: |

| - DBI | - [[http://search.cpan.org/~timb/DBI/ | DBI]] |
| - DBD::SQLite (if you are using the default SQLite for the backend database) | - [[http://search.cpan.org/~msergeant/DBD-SQLite/ | DBD::SQLite]] (if you are using the default SQLite for the backend database) |
| - **IMPORTANT NOTE:** On July 21, 2004 the author of DBD::SQLite posted version 1.00 to CPAN. That version uses a newer version of SQLite, version 3, which has not been tested with POPFile. Early indications are that there may be problems using the newer module, so at this time we recommend sticking to the prior version of DBD::SQLite, version 0.31. To use that prior version, you will need to specify the full path when you install from CPAN, e.g., cpan> install M/MS/MSERGEANT/DBD-SQLite-0.31.tar.gz [[SQLite3| More detail can be found here]] | - IMPORTANT NOTE: There are two incompatible flavours of SQLite: 2.x and 3.x. POPFile 1.1.0 (or later) uses SQLite 3.x therefore it requires DBD::SQLite v1.00 or later (1.1.0 was tested using v1.13 and v1.14). POPFile 0.25.0 to 1.0.1 used SQLite 2.x and requires DBD::SQLite v0.31 which is the last version of DBD::SQLite based upon SQLite 2.x. (To use that old version, you will need to specify the full path when you install from CPAN, e.g., cpan> install M/MS/MSERGEANT/DBD-SQLite-0.31.tar.gz) [[SQLite3| More detail can be found here]] |
