I am trying to befriend Perl and MySQL database as you
can see from my topic. Actually its a first time iam
here, so i decided to write to the seekers of the
wisdom forum.
OS - Win2000; Perl - 5.6.1 build 635; and mysql;
Trying to use PPM to install DBD::Mysql module.
Already have installed DBI through it. The problem is:

PPM interactive shell (2.2.0) - type 'help' for available commands.
PPM> install DBD-Mysql
Install package 'DBD-Mysql?' (y/N): y
Installing package 'DBD-Mysql'...
Error installing package 'DBD-Mysql': Read a PPD for 'DBD-Mysql', but 
+it is not intended for this build
of Perl (MSWin32-x86-multi-thread)
PPM>
[download]

 
I have already tried to install it manually through the downloading DB
+D-Mysql.tar.gz and run the makefile.pl file but it gives the error :
C:\drv for mysql\Msql-Mysql-modules-1.2216>makefile.pl
Which drivers do you want to install?

1) MySQL only
2) mSQL only (either of mSQL 1 or mSQL 2)
3) MySQL and mSQL (either of mSQL 1 or mSQL 2)

4) mSQL 1 and mSQL 2
5) MySQL, mSQL 1 and mSQL 2

Enter the appropriate number: [3] 1


Do you want to install the MysqlPerl emulation? You might keep your ol
+d
Mysql module (to be distinguished from DBD::mysql!) if you are concern
+ed
about compatibility to existing applications! [n]
Where is your MySQL installed? Please tell me the directory that
contains the subdir 'include'. [C:/mysql]
Which database should I use for testing the MySQL drivers? [test]
On which host is database test running (hostname, ip address
or host:port) [localhost]
User name for connecting to database test? [undef]
Password for connecting to database test? [undef]
