The Msql-Mysql modules are an old implementation of Perl access to MySQL, intended to be compatible with the even older Msql database engine. The past 5 years have seen the development of DBI, a standard database interface between Perl and a great many database engines, of which MySQL is but one. The Msql-Mysql modules are currently implemented as a compatibility layer on top of DBD::mysql. They should work the same as the old modules. Personally, never had any problems using the compatibility layer, while some of my code is going back to 1995 without any change. Hope this helps.
