Thank you for the reply. However, unfortunately the documentation that you refer to -- while instructive in respect to DBI usage -- does not answer my question, which is simply:
Must I install MySQL on a client workstation/PC in order to run perl/DBI scripts that query a local MySQL server? I know I do need to install DBI, DBD:MySQL, however, I'm not sure what, if anything else I need to install on the client? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
