DBD::mysql - A Perl5 Database Interface to the MySQL database
=============================================================

The driver installation is described in

 INSTALL.html

In short: If you are using

 Windows/ActivePerl

   1.) If you need to use an HTTP Proxy, set the environment
       variable http_proxy, for example like this:

         set http_proxy=http://myproxy.com:8080/

   2.) The actual installation is as simple as

         ppm install DBI
         ppm install DBD::mysql

       As of this writing, the above procedure won't work with
       ActivePerl 5.8.0, because so far a PPM for DBD::mysql is
       not available from the ActiveState server. I don't know
       why. However, Randy Kobes has kindly donated a PPM package
       to his own repository. You can use this as follows:

         ppm install http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/DBD-mysql.ppd

 Windows/CygWin

   Unfortunately it seems that the usual MySQL windows binaries
   cannot be combined with the CygWin libraries. At least I don't
   know how. In other words: You need to compile your own MySQL
   client binaries. In what follows I assume that you have
   downloaded and extracted the MySQL sources and the DBD::mysq
   sources to /usr/local/src. The following steps should do:

     cd /usr/local/src/mysql-4.0.9
      ./configure --without-server --prefix=/usr/local/mysql-4.0.9
     make
     make install
     cd /usr/local/src/DBD-mysql-2.1023
     perl Makefile.PL \
       --libs="-L/usr/local/mysql-4.0.9/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient -lz" \
       --cflags=-I/usr/local/mysql-4.0.9/include/mysql \
       --testhost=127.0.0.1
     make
     make test # Some minor error messages can be ignored here
     make install

 Linux/Red Hat (you may prefer gnorpm to use)

   rpm -i mysql mysql-devel mysql-server
   rpm -i perl-DBI
   rpm -i DBD-MySQL
   rpm -i zlib-devel

 Linux/SuSEs(you may prefer to use yast)

   rpm -i mysql mysql-client mysql-devel mysql-shared
   rpm -i perl-DBI
   rpm -i perl-Msql-Mysql-modules

 Linux/Mandrake (you may prefer to use any Mandrake specific tool?)

   rpm -i MySQL MySQL-client MySQL-devel MySQL-shared
   rpm -i perl-DBI
   rpm -i perl-Mysql
   rpm -i zlib-devel

 Linux/Debian

   Install the packages

     mysql-client mysql-server mysql-doc mysql-common
     libdbi-perl lidbd-mysql-perl

   No idea how one does install these under Debian, but I am
   sure you know. :-)

 For others, or in case of problems see INSTALL.html.
