>From the two responces I've gotten back, I know I didn't phrase this right.

My problem is when I get to the point:

Where is your MySQL installed? Please tell me the directory that
contains the subdir 'include'. [/usr/local]
Cannot find one of include/mysql/mysql.h, include/mysql.h in /usr/local at
lib/D

I need to tell it that MySQL is located on a differnt server and not the
local machine... is there a way around this?  And still give me access to
DBI on this machine?

Read DBD::mysql for proper connect statement.  One of them should have a
specified location of mysql which can be a network address I believe.

Subject: Using DBI when MySQL is on another server


I've looked through the docs on this so I thought I'd go to the horse mouth.
We use MySQL however it is on a different server than the Application will
be running.  I want to use DBI with MySQL support in order to help handle my
perl calls to MySQL, however when I get to the line asking for where MySQL
is installed I do not know what to do.  Can DBI run on a different server
than the on that MySQL is install on?  I figure it must be able to since you
can access MySQL from differnt Servers.

Any help appreciated.  Sorry if this question has been answered, I have not
found any archives of the list.
