Rich,
You can get the DBD::mysql package from ActiveState at http://ppm.activestate.com/PPMPackages/zips/8xx-builds-only/Windows/DBD-mysql-2.9003.zip.
The files in blib/arch should be copied to server/CPAN/arch/5.8/MSWin32-x86-multi-thread and those in blib/lib should be copied to server/CPAN. This will make them available to SlimServer.
I have not confirmed that this driver works, but I wish you luck. :-)

I'm a slimserver newbee, so I apologize if this question has been asked and answered before....
I'm using slimserver Version 6.0b1 - 2005-03-08, along with it's embedded version of Softqueeze (eagerly awaiting shipment of my SB2), on Windows XP, SP2. I'd like to switch slimserver over to a mySql database. I understand that this is not officially supported, but apparently possible.
I found all of the posts about changing the slimserver.pref, (especially http://article.gmane.org/gmane.music.equipment.slimdevices.general/24879) and have done so, but still haven't been able to make it work.
I'm an experienced C++ and Java programmer, but almost completely unfamiliar
with perl. That said, it seems to me that the problem is that the DBI module for
supporting mySQL (DBD:mysql) is missing. I tracked down some info on that, but it seems that the only way to get it
is to get the source and compile it. If I understand correctly, this is a problem because the perl environment
that is installed with slimserver is partially compiled. Has someone already added mySql support, who can make a Windows binary
available, or must I install a full perl development environment to make
this change? All advice is welcome.
Thanks!
