Ken: Thank you for your response. I tried the 'mysql_config' command and got an errot message. I will add 'mysql_config' to the path (if I figure out how!!!).
I noticed that on my installation the 'mysql_config' is in '/usr/local/mysql/bin' directory whereas you have indicated that it should be in '/usr/local/bin' directory! Please clarify!! Two more questions: (1) Since I have doen partial installation, would it hurt if I re-do the entire Perl instalation or start from the command where the errors were encountered? (2) I also have two Client MySQL servers (which connect to master MySQL server for data). Do I also need to install Perl on these Client MySQL Servers? Please remember, I am an IBM mainframe guy & my knowledge of LINUX related soft is pretty low on scale. Thanks.

Bajwa; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Perl Modelues Hi Kirti, mysql_config tell the perl build module how to link with the driver. The easiest way to fix this is make sure the bin driectory of MySQL is in your path. If you can type 'mysql_config' at the command line and get an answer like: Usage: /usr/local/bin/mysql_config [OPTIONS] Options: etc The perl DBD module should be able to find and use this program to configure itself. If you get a command not found error add the mysql bin driectory to the path. Ken ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kirti S.
