    No need. DBI loads it for you.

      Your code works for me. I know this is the obvious but DBD::mysql is installed right? As well your password is empty, do you really have an empty password?

      Update:
      MySQL 4.1.1
      Activestate Perl, v5.8.4
      Win 2000
      DBD-mysql 2.9003

        Yes, DBD::mysql is installed as you can see: 
        C:\Data\Scripts\Exchange>ppm query dbd::mysql
DBD-mysql [2.9002] A MySQL driver for the Perl5 Database Interface (DB
+I)

C:\Data\Scripts\Exchange>ppm verify dbd::mysql
Package 'dbd-mysql' is up to date.

        [download]

        And, yes, I normally use a blank password when connecting to the database. But, normally, I only connect from localhost on the linux box. I did a grant just now to add the user with a password with host of the win32 boxes ip address.

        Still, the same problem. No connect and no errors. Just the exit with no explanation ..."
