You didn't say which version of Strawberry Perl you installed. But since you implied it was installed recently, I am going to assume 5.40.
Your post Re^2: Help on how to compile/install module DBD::MariaDB/Mysql on Windows using Strawberry Perl was at 20:46 UTC, whereas there was a comment on the the SO post at 18:51 UTC, saying to look at syphilis's Re^3: MySQL/MariaDB DBD install problem here. Did you try that? Since you never commented in either location that you'd tried that, I am assuming not. So despite the fact that I don't have MariaDB server installed, I tried following those instructions.
Specifically, I looked at syphilis's post, and used that as the basis for the following steps, which I ran, with the results as described:
- Download and install the MariaDB C Connectors at https://mariadb.com/downloads/connectors/ to get the header files in the right spot
-- I don't know if that's a required step if you've already got MariaDB server installed
-- For me, it installed some libraries into c:\Program Files\MariaDB\MariaDB Connector C 64-bit\lib\ and some headers into c:\Program Files\MariaDB\MariaDB Connector C 64-bit\include\, so if the server didn't install anything into those directories, you might need to separately install the C Connectors.
- Since Strawberry Perl 5.40 doesn't come with the mysql_config.bat or some of the associated libraries, but syphilis pointed out in the other conversation that Strawberry Perl 5.38 does, I downloaded the zipfile for StrawberryPerl 5.38 Portable edition.
- Per syphilis's instructions, copy the 4 files from the specific directories in the 5.38 zipfile into your main StrawberryPerl 5.40 installation. That's easy to do by opening the zipfile in one Windows Explorer window, and your c:\strawberry\ (or wherever you installed 5.40) in a second Windows Explorer window -- obviously putting each file into the correct directory relative to that main directory, as per the instructions.
- At the command line, where your installed StrawberryPerl 5.40 is available, run cpanm DBD::MariaDB
-- For me, it tried to install v1.24 of the module, but I got the same undefined reference to `__imp___pioinfo' as was mentioned for v1.23 in the other discussion.
-- Thus, I tried to force the earlier v1.22 instead, using cpanm DBD::MariaDB@1.22 : this command was able to install DBD::MariaDB for me, in my Strawberry Perl 5.40. SUCCESS.
Again, I don't know if having MariaDB server already installed will eliminate the first step or not. And you probably don't need to waste your time with the first cpanm DBD::MariaDB , and should probably go straight to cpanm DBD::MariaDB@1.22 . But this worked to get it installed for me (obviously, whether it will work with a server is something I cannot test). But if you haven't tried this sequence yet, you probably should.
