The DBD::mysql driver (like most other database drivers) consists of two parts: A Perl part and a C part. If you aren't using ActivePerl (which isn't working with mod_perl, AFAIK), you either need a precompiled binary of DBD::mysql or you must compile your own - and hence you need a C compiler. (The DBD::mysql docs tell you what to do.) The C compiler must be the same that was used for compiling Perl. VC++ is not a must: You can compile Perl with egcs. The WIN32-README of the Perl source distribution contains more details. A precompiled binary of Perl 5.00502, including DBD::mysql, is available at www.mysql.com.

Re: mysql.pm on Apache/mod_perl/perl win98
Hi Dave, I only do *nix, but I think that you should not need mysql.pm if you are using DBI/DBD. Jochen is quite helpful on the MySQL modules list. subscription info availble at www.mysql.com. Good Luck, Ed

Re: mysql.pm on Apache/mod_perl/perl win98
[cc list trimmed; this is more a mod_perl issue than a mysql one.] Thanks a bunch for your efforts here. I understand that earlier such bundles were built with VC6, eh? Will you have the opportunity/ability/tuits to distribute one built with Cygwin, so that the resultant installation can freely install new/updated modules from CPAN, including those that need a C compiler? I wouldn't suggest to bundle Cygwin, but to work with its standard install location, at any rate. The reason I ask is that I'd like to have a distribution available that includes HTML::Mason, and which is open for folks to add the precise modules that they need. Combined with SSH and CVS, this becomes a pretty decent development environment even for a web developer with only a Windows box. Perhaps it's more reasonable to request that you add HTML::Mason into the existing bundle, but that will have its own share of difficulties, considering the other unspecified modules that people would still be without. A cygwin-based distribution perhaps could simply ship with Perl's base install - let the user install their packages through CPAN. I've looked at getting apache/perl/mod_perl to build wtih cygwin, but I lacked the knowledge to understand the build hints for Perl, speak nothing of the rest. By the way, HTML::Mason may still have a problem here or there on Windows, which we folks on the Mason list will be glad to help get ironed out, I believe. At least, I'd be willing to help.
