RPM dependency on MySQL-DBI-perl-bin
Hi - Im installing the MySQL-bench-3.23.37-1.i386.rpm, cant install because of a MySQL-DBI-perl-bin dependency. Does anyone know what this is(RPM?or Perl Mod?), and where i can find it?Ive been looking, but no luck yet.

Re: RPM dependency on MySQL-DBI-perl-bin
Hi: I believe MySQL-bench uses Perl program to benchmark databases so that it requires Perl-DBI. DBI is a Perl module that provides API for database connection. I have never installed Perl modules in RPM format but you should be able to find it on RedHat ftp server. And I think the name 'MySQL-DBI-perl-bin' is somewhat misleading because DBI is not tied to any specific databse. DBI module provides general API for databse handling and for MySQL, you also need DBD-MySQL module. Anyway, unless you have a real need of benchmarking MySQL, why bother installing it?

Dear Jason - Jason Feingold writes: Hi - Im installing the MySQL-bench-3.23.37-1.i386.rpm, cant install because of a MySQL-DBI-perl-bin dependency. Using the RPM mechanism to install perl modules is fraught with problems. Don't use it; you'll be sorry you did in the long run. But, fear not there is a good solution to your problem. The perl community has developed a solution analogous to RPM called cpan. There is a cpan module that is most likely already installed on your system. You can confirm that by typing 'perl -e use CPAN; ' (without the single quotes) at the command line. If you don't get any wierd error messages you already have the cpan module. (If you don't have it you can download it, and zillions of others, at www.cpan.org. Now that you've got CPAN.pm you can type 'perl -MCPAN -e shell' and follow the reasonably intuitive interactive prompts. There's also documentation available by typing 'perldoc CPAN'. The commands you're going to end up typing in the end are: cpan i /mysql/ cpan install Bundle::DBD::mysql cpan i /dbi/ cpan install Bundle::DBI The cpan tool is built specifically for perl and you will get a more robust install by using it for perl modules. Let me warn you that I haven't installed these modules in a while and you may find that there are C dependencies that I'm forgetting that aren't handled well. If you have problems just write again and I or someone else will be happy to help.
