I come before you with great confusion and a few less clumps of hair..... When I use DBI:mSQL, I can connect to the mSQL db. But when I try to connect to the MySQL db and use DBI:mysql, the error log keeps giving me:
install_driver(mysql) failed: Can't find loadable object for module DB
+D::mysql in @INC (/usr/libdata/perl5/DBD/ /usr/libdata/perl5/i386-bsd
+os/5.00402 /usr/libdata/perl5 /usr/libdata/perl5/site_perl/i386-bsdos
+ /usr/libdata/perl5/site_perl /usr/libdata/perl5/site_perl/i386-bsdos
+/include .) at (eval 1) line 2
Perhaps DBD::mysql was statically linked into a new perl binary.
In which case you need to use that new perl binary.
Or perhaps only the .pm file was installed but not the shared object f
+ile.

Do I have to change some link somewhere? I even tried using: use lib '/path/to/DBD' thanks for your time- (help me save my hair ;)
