in reply to prob with DBD::mysql on Mac OS X

I was so unsucessful in getting DBD::mysql to work that I just punted and went with DBD::mysqlPP. I think it comes bundled with DBD::mysql, but you'll have to hand-install the files owing to a brain-dead makefile. It does, however, work once you get it installed (or at least, it works for me, with Perl 5.8.1 and OS X 10.2).

    thank you guys for your help.
    it seems i got yet another prob (cpan fails to make 'test'). so after trying to re-install perl i'm stuck with something like this.

    oh well. i just keep on trying, which is hard and nervwrecking since i do not have much of a clue... but that's life, isn't it? :)
