Hey, Monks: I used "ppm install DBD-Mysql" to install the module. Even though the console show the installation is successful. When I tested it, it simply does not work as expected(Failing to connect to the database). However, I can install and DBD-MysqlPP correctly and get it work as expected. Please advise what to do in this case.

My "perl -V" produce the following:
