I am getting the below error when I am running this piece of code

install_driver(mysql) failed: Can't locate loadable object for module DBD::mysql in @INC (@INC contains: C:/Perl/site/lib C:/Perl/lib .) at (eval 5) line 3 Compilation failed in require at (eval 5) line 3. Perhaps a module that DBD::mysql requires hasn't been fully installed at connect.pl line 5

I have already installed the DBD::mysql module through CPAN. cpan> install DBD::mysql DBD::mysql is up to date (4.014).

I am running it on Windows and perl version is v5.10.1.
