Hello all,

I know this can be done but does someone have a step by step guide
that walks me through the process of setting up DBD:: MYSQL on Max OS X.

Thanks,

Re: Setting up DBI on a Mac for a novice

I would install perl and mysql (if not already present), then run the
cpan script (or perl -MCPAN -e shell) in a Terminal session (as root),
answer all CPAN questions (defaults are ok), then type "install DBD::mysql".

Report problems with that method here.

You're more likely to get people to give their time to help you if it's
clear that you've already tried to help yourself.

I guess he doesn't want to pollute his system by trial and error.
