Thanks. So to confirm: in order to get Class::DBI:: Loader to work, I need both these other modules to work. Please correct me if wrong.
As you say Class::DBI:: Loader::mysql installs with Class::DBI:: Loader but I cannot get Class::DBI::mysql to install and was hoping that some beneficial soul might be able to assist my lowly self in this matter.
I guess it's because the test isn't working - if the test fails, you can't install - is that right? I didn't realise this before.

I see that the test requires some mysql to be installed and env. variables to be setup so I'll have a play with them and try again.

However, this represents a problem in my house of worship because mysql runs on a server but I write all code on another machine which does not have mysql installed. But in order to compile and test the code, I will obviously need to have Class::DBI::mysql working on this machine too. Is there a dodgy workaround??

thanks for any advice - I'm very unfamiliar with the nittygritty of module installations having always used CPAN or PPM or DPM up to now.
