in reply to Activestate 5.8 + DBD-mysql a no-go?

DBD::mysql works for AS Perl 5.6, so you could always upgrade to Perl 5.6 ;-)

As far as Perl 5.8 is concerned, have a look at this.

    Hmm.

    Thanks for the pointer. I tried it; installed without a hitch under ppm3. However, it doesn't work. Says something like this: 

    install_driver(mysql) failed: Can't load 'C:/Perl/site/lib/auto/DBD/my
+sql/mysql.dll' for module DBD::mysql: load_file:One of the library fi
+les needed to run this application cannot be found at C:/Perl/lib/Dyn
+aLoader.pm line 229.

    Not sure what to do. I take it that the precompiled binaries in the ppd aren't statically linked and they're needing a library file (Which one? Doesn't say) that doesn't exist on my system. ::sighs::

    I'm thinking about downgrading back to ActivePerl 5.6 so I can get some sanity back. I'll come back around to 5.8 when ActiveState catches up. (muted grumbling)

      It looks like you need mysql.dll at 'c:/Perl/site/lib/auto/DBD/mysql/mysql.dll'

      I checked my (Perl 5.6) installation and I indeed found this mysql.dll at that location. Perhaps the 5.6 version will work for 5.8 too.

      I'll be happy to e-mail you this mysql.dll if you give me your e-mail address.
