HI,

I have been running mysql under windows for a while, but the mysql.pm
version, now from cpan via PPM i can only find mysqlPP and this does not
work for me. (cant find mysql.pm in @inc). Int finds the mysqlPP driver.

What can I do??

Mikael

See the mail below, which I have received some weeks ago. I'd
be glad, if you could write to ppm-request@ActiveState.com and
request a PPM distribution.

Hello Jochen,

I'm forwarding your email to the maintainer of the repository. I'm certain we
will be adding the DBD::mysql module for ActivePerl 5.8.0 in the near future.

For users of ActivePerl 5.8.0 we do provide two options.

The first is to request the package:
If you've found that the requested module is not available through PPM, PPM3
or downloadable as a .zip file, requests for PPM packages can now be
directed
to:
ppm-request@ActiveState.com

The second is to get the latest package from CPAN:
You can always get the latest packages from CPAN. Instructions on querying,
downloading and building perl modules from CPAN sites can be found here:
http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Reference/Products/ActivePe rl/lib/CPAN.html

Hopefully this helps to cut down on the email traffic you are seeing and to be
certain, it's also in our interest to cut down on the amount of traffic going to
support@activestate.com regarding this and other modules.

Please let me know if you have any further comments or questions.

Best Regards,

Rod Ballingall,
ActiveState Technical Support
www.ActiveState.com
------------------------------------------------------------ ----------------
If you'd like to provide feedback on the quality of support you've received,
please do so by sending an e-mail to support-feedback@activestate.com
It would be much appreciated.

That's good news that they seem receptive to requests for ppm
packages ... In the meantime, for the DBD-mysql package for
ActivePerl 8xx builds at http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/ I
added a post-install script which will offer to fetch and
install, if desired, the required libmySQL.dll, if you don't have
it already - this point caused some confusion earlier. To access
this repository you can add, within the ppm shell, the location
http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/cgi-bin/ppmserver?urn:/PPMServe r58
and then 'install DBD-mysql' at the ppm prompt.

Nice idea! :-)

However, couldn't this cause trouble if there are two different
dll's, one inside the Perl directory and another one in the
MySQL directory? (I am not sufficiently inside Windows C
programming to know.)

That's true ... The script first mentions that the dll is needed,
somewhere in the PATH, and then offers to fetch and install it if
she/he doesn't already have it (and some people legitimately may
not have it, if they're connecting to a remote server).
Hopefully that's clear enough to avoid problems ...
