Hey guys I would just like to say thanks... Rinke and Steve both remind my
thick skull that athough the damon is on a differnt machine I still need to
install the mysql client on the app machine (doh). Just goes to show you...
there's always something you forget.

I reply private, because I'm not an expert with MySQL. For Oracle at least,
you need to have the Oracle client already installed on the same machine
where you install DBD::Oracle. This is because the installation needs some
header files from the Oracle client. It's probably the same with MySQL:
although the MySQL server is on remote machine, you need a client on the
local machine.
I hope that helps, at least to rephrase your question to make it
understandable for the experts.
