in thread Perl XAMPP DB Connect issue (Windows/Strawberry?)

Well, you were right about the "mysql.h" file. I found it just where you said it would be.

Now the next error in this wild goose chase is that there is no "mysqlclient.lib" and I am supposed to supply the directory where that can be found before the "make" will process. Having searched the entire hard disk (which took awhile), it is nowhere to be found.

It seems this module is pretty needy, and assumes its dependencies will be supplied by the unsuspecting client, rather than the source. I have no idea when the requirements will end, as they appear one at a time...or even if I will be able to meet all of them.

Blessings,
