in thread DBD-mysql stubbornly refusing to install

I haven't used Rose::DB ever, but from the documentation it seems you'd have to copy Rose::DB::MySQL to Rose::DB::MariaDB and use the driver_class method to enable it. If you decide to go that path, don't forget to post the traps and discoveries you make :-)

Update: See also Bug #125886.

    OK, well it seems that Rose isn't compatible with Rose::DB::MariaDB. I could have a go at tinkering with it but the need has gone away as I've found a workaround for my problem with Active State Perl which has a version of DBD::mysql that does work. (I don't see how they've managed to do that actually - if DBD::mysql is not compatible with V8 Mysql, how have AS got it working?). Thanks for the advice, though; saved me wasting more time and hopefully useful for others in a similar situation, too.
