Net::MySQL is a mysql client - server protocol implementation. It's not recommended you use Net::MySQL directly, but should use DBD::mysqlPP which is based on Net::MySQL. It allows you to connect to mysql server from platforms where libmysql* is not ported. http://search.cpan.org/dist/DBD-mysqlPP/ -- Tatsuhiko Miyagawa <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
