in reply to New to the whole BINARIES-thingy

Okay, here's the skinny.

DBD::Mysql is not listed in the repository. Why? One thought is that my build of ActiveState's Perl (630) is not compatible with the 62X series. As a result, there is a seperate 63x repository. This would explain why some people (running 62x) see the file and others (me running 630) do not. If this is true or not is to be debated.

Maybe someone knows for sure...these are our ASSuptions. ;-p

Solution: download the Mysql ppd file from ActiveState's website directly, unzip to a temp folder, launch a command prompt window, cd to the temp folder and type in: ppm install dbd-mysql.ppd Thanx to jmcnamara and tinman for there tedious use of the CB.
