Randy,
This looks very excellent. Let me play around with it, and I would need
to do a dev release with it first (which I was planning to do soon
anyway) just to make sure people have no issues with it (as I've
learned is a good practice anytime you change things ;)
thanks very very much!
Patrick

As Patrick seems to be an employee of MySQL AB: A
possibly better solution would be to finally add
mysql_config to the Windows distributions. I can think of
absolutely no reason, why this shouldn't be possible or
even difficult. And the advantages are quite obvious, as
the required libraries are varying, in particular on
Windows.
I suppose one problem is that Windows doesn't have
/bin/sh. mysql_config is a shell script.
I've been playing around with a perl script for Win32
that emulates the mysql_config shell script - this is at
http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/mysql_config_win32.pl
What this will do is install a mysql_config.pl (and
associated .bat file) under an installed $MYSQL/bin/
directory; to do so, either put $MYSQL/bin/ in the PATH
and run
perl mysql_config_win32.pl
or else give the full path to the root MySQL directory as
perl mysql_config_win32.pl --with-mysql=C:\Path\to\MySQL
With this, and the following patch to Makefile.PL of
DBD-mysql (version 3.0002):

one can configure DBD-mysql on Win32 either by having
$MYSQL/bin/ in the PATH, or by running
perl Makefile.PL
--mysql_config=C:\Path\to\MySQL\bin\mysql_config.bat
There may be, though, implicit assumptions in this that are
particular to my configuration - if you try this, and find
problems, please let me know.
