does not match bootstrap parameter

stello has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Can someone enlighten me as to why the following code kicks the error:

DBD::mysql object version 2.0419 does not match bootstrap parameter 2.0902 at /usr/libdata/perl/5.00503/DynaLoader.pm line 188. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at ./freetest.pl line 3.

The Code:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use DBI;
use DBD::mysql;
print "Hello";
exit;

Hi, I think you messed up your DBD::mysql installation. bootstrap is part of the DynaLoader suite, and it loads the mysql.so file only when the mysql.pm file fits the mysql.so version. Look in the file DBD/mysql.pm and compare it with the version in auto/DBD/mysql.so (fe. strings mysql.so \| less ). Anyway, just reinstall the Bundle::Mysql and you'll be fine. --------------------------- Dr. Mark Ceulemans Senior Consultant IT Masters, Belgium	[reply]

I agree that there probably is a problem in the DBD::mysql install. But a note - I always thought that "use DBI" was enough to invoke DBD::mysql. I've never had to actually specify "use DBD::anything" (I use a number of DBDs), "use DBI;" has always been enough.	[reply]
