Well, if it's only a debugger, it sure fooled me. They might choose a less ambiguous piece of namespace next time. What package does XAMPP expect one to use for database connections?

I currently don't have XAMPP installed, and on the XAMPP website they don't mention which Perl version and modules are installed by default, but the Stackoverflow post that I referenced in my previous post lets me assume it is DBI. (I had noticed the use DB; in your OP, too, but, like you, had assumed it might be another database layer in XAMPP) -- what does it say if you try to use DBI; instead?

No, there was no DBI package with XAMPP. The only other "DB"-starting package was something like DB_filter (that Windoze) computer has been updating for some time now--something I had no choice in--making it inaccessible. Hopefully it's close to finished with that now so I can continue working on it.
I guess that's why I assumed that the "DB.pm" must be the equivalent for DBI. There was no other package that looked anywhere close. Meanwhile, I've begun the process (interrupted) of trying to install DBD::mysql, but found I needed nearly a GB of additional installs to enable a C compiler before "make" would even do anything on it...still trying to get the compiler going. It involved yet another major package install...this time MinGW.
