I have installed DBI and have just installed DBD-mysql (from activestate) and it seemed to install fine.

I have done 

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;
use DBI; 

#probe DBI for available drivers
my @drivers = DBI->available_drivers();

##iterate through drivers and list the data source for each one
foreach my $driver (@drivers)
{
    print "Driver: $driver\n";
    
    my @datasources = DBI->data_sources($driver);
    foreach my $datasource (@datasources)
    {
        print "\tData Source is $datasource\n";
    }
    
    print "\n";
}
   
exit;

After running this I get 

Driver: ExampleP
    Data Source is dbi:ExampleP:dir=.

Driver: Multiplex

Driver: Proxy

If i succesfully installed DBD-mysql then it should show here? (is this right). Does anyone have any answers

THanks
