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.
 at (eval 1) line 3

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)
