I'm using a Perl script to display the contents of a table. On running the script I get a 'Can't locate DBD/mysql.pm in @INC' error. mysql was installed on my mac via homebrew so I'm guessing that's why there is something amiss in my @INC search path? 

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;

use DBI;

my $dbfile = "bank";

my $dsn      = "dbi:mysql:dbname=$dbfile";
my $user     = "donfox1";
my $password = "nodxof";
my $dbh = DBI->connect($dsn, $user, $password, {
   PrintError       => 0,
   RaiseError       => 1,
   AutoCommit       => 1,
   FetchHashKeyName => 'NAME_lc',
});

my $sql = 'SELECT name, address FROM branch';
my $sth = $dbh->prepare($sql);
$sth->execute(1,10);
while (my @row = $sth->fetchrow_array) {
   print "name: $row[0]  address: $row[1]\n";
}

$sth->execute(12, 17);
while (my $row = $sth->fetchrow_hashref) {
   print "fname: $row->{name}  lname: $row->{address}\n";
}

$dbh->disconnect;


print "\tSTUBB_1\n";

Output on running the script is: ./connect.pl install_driver(mysql) failed: Can't locate DBD/mysql.pm in @INC (you may need to install the DBD::mysql module) (@INC contains: /Library/Perl/5.18/darwin-thread-multi-2level /Library/Perl/5.18 /Network/Library/Perl/5.18/darwin-thread-multi-2level /Network/Library/Perl/5.18 /Library/Perl/Updates/5.18.2 /System/Library/Perl/5.18/darwin-thread-multi-2level /System/Library/Perl/5.18 /System/Library/Perl/Extras/5.18/darwin-thread-multi-2level /System/Library/Perl/Extras/5.18 .) at (eval 4) line 3. Perhaps the DBD::mysql perl module hasn't been fully installed, or perhaps the capitalisation of 'mysql' isn't right. Available drivers: DBM, ExampleP, File, Gofer, Proxy, SQLite, Sponge.
