Hi,

Hi all,

I was able to install the module DBD::mysql for Perl 5.6.1 using ppm (under
Windows 2000) but after installing Perl 5.8, ppm can't find this module
anymore.

I had the same issue, then I removed Perl and re-installed the
below early version:

Microsoft Windows 2000 [Versăo 5.00.2195]
(C) Copyright 1985-1999 Microsoft Corp.

D:\>perl --version

This is perl, v5.6.0 built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread
(with 1 registered patch, see perl -V for more detail)

Copyright 1987-2000, Larry Wall

Binary build 623 provided by ActiveState Tool Corp. http://www.ActiveState.com
Built 16:27:07 Dec 15 2000

Instead to use:

ppm>Install DBI
ppm>Install DBD::mysql

I did at prompt command:

ppm install http://www.perl.com/CPAN-local/authors/id/JWIED/DBD-mysql-1.2212.x86.ppd

and I was be able for to make my tests with MySQL.

Maybe there is other best option, but just now the above option is
enough to me, hope it help you too.

I could find only the module DBD::mysqlPP for pure Perl.
I don't understand what pure perl means but I've seen that this module
accepts less functions than DBD::mysql.

Do you know if DBD::mysql works with Perl 5.8 and how can I install it?

Thank you.
