    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
