OK. I recommend that you not mess with MySQL. There is more pain past just getting the DBI module. You will have to get a MySQL daemon started and there is admin hassle.

I recommend that you start with SQLite. There is no daemon. There is no admin. It does 90% of what MySQL does for a single user and with a lot less hassle.

I use the SQLMangager plug-in for firefox instead of the command line I/F which I have never bothered to install on my machine. You will need to install the DBD::SQlite module and that's about it.

Try installing DBD::SQLite and see how it goes.

Update:
I do have a MySQL server running right now on my Windows machine.
I know how to do it and that is why I am advising you not to do it!
Too much hassle!
