First again thank you. To Jenda,
I installed the module in first place via PPM process. So this should be exactly as you say. I will try the remove and install.

This is the full error message as was given to me: 
C:\Apache2\cgi-bin>perl intro6.pl
install_driver(mysql) failed: Can't load 'C:/Perl/site/lib/auto/DBD/my

Does this make sense to anyone? I am thinking there is a mixup in PERL versions somewhere as in I am running 5.8.0 but Activestate PPM beleives me to be using 5.6 or the PPM process believes this. Otherwise, it is possible to have problem with PPM process and I need to make Activestate aware. I am going to try manual install again and see if this clears up.
Again, I am most gracious for all the help proffered. I have many things to try and resolve along lines I was not thinking.
