RE: problem connecting to mysql database

Really stupid question but have you installed the mysql client first on the
box?
The module needs the libraries here to work, they must also be in you paths
(LD_LIBRARY_PATH, PATH)

Subject: problem connecting to mysql database

I have installed the mysql.pm, by doing the following :
- downloaded the DBD-mysql-4.005.tar and copied the contents of lib to
my C:\perl\lib.

From my experience with DBD::mysql,you can't just download it and copy them
to lib path.
You need to compile them,even when compiling,you need to specify some
arguments like mysql_config path to it.
I don't have experience on installing DBD::mysql on Win,but if you're using
ActiveState,can you use their package manager to install the libs?
