Based on the paths and error messages, you are using a Microsoft Windows installation and a copy of WampServer. By default, WampServer does not give you a Perl distribution. As briefly described in the thread, for an easy Perl installation, get the ActivePerl distribution from ActiveState.

Once you've installed ActivePerl, you can then follow the instructions from MySQL on enabling DBD::MySQL in ActivePerl. That will give you all the necessary files so that your Perl will Just Work.

Since you are using Wamp, you should be able to use localhost for your MySQL server name, along with the database, user, and password you've configured in the PhpMyAdmin interface of WampServer

The only other thing you'll have to do is configure your WampServer so that Apache is configured properly.

OR

UPDATE Just Follow These Instructions
