    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
