in thread Issues with DBD::mysql - please help

would it be possible for someone to send me all the installed files from the DBD-mysql installation so that I can use them? I have already gone down the activestate perl 5.16 path in my development and this is the last module that I need to get working. it would be a lot of work to switch to another database driver or another version of perl.

thanks,

      ya, I see the module on that page, but it says that I need to enter a username and password to download it. if I try to use the perl package manager, the dbd-mysql module is not listed.

        I stopped using ActiveState Perl along time ago. Strawberry Perl works fine for me. Since you are using AS try this from the command prompt:

        ppm MinGW

        This installs a C compiler and build tools via PPM, provided you're not using a 64bit build of AS. Then use cpan to install the desired module:

        cpan DBD::mysql
