Hi Monks,

I just installed mySQL on a sparc running Solaris 8 and created my database.

I then installed the DBI and DBD::mysql modules using CPAN, they compiled but failed a couple of tests, they still installed however.

Then i wrote a small sample script: 
#!/usr/bin/perl

use DBI;

($pass = shift) || die Useage();
print "Enter Listname:";
my $listname = <STDIN>;

$db = "nMail";
$sock = "/tmp/mysql.sock";
$user = "nmail";
$dsn = "DBI:mysql:$db;mysql_socket=$sock";

$dbh = DBI->connect($dsn,$user,$pass);
        $sth = $dbh->prepare("INSERT INTO nMail.ML_Lists (Mname) VALUE
+S ('$listname')");
        $sth->execute() || die "Error: Could not create mailing list $
+listname\n";
        $sth->finish();
$dbh->disconnect();

sub Useage
{
return "
Error Invalid Arguments,

Useage:
$0 <password>
";
}

However after executing the script i get the following error: 
bash-2.03$ ./add_list.pl <*password-cut*>
Enter Listname:Test
ld.so.1: /usr/bin/perl: fatal: relocation error: file /usr/local/lib/p
+erl5/site_perl/5.6.1/sun4-solaris/auto/DBD/mysql/mysql.so: symbol mys
+ql_init: referenced symbol not found
Killed

Does anyone have any idea what may be causing this error? Or any ideas how to fix it?

Thanks a lot
