Now that I've uninstalled 5.8 and gone back to 5.6.1, I'm not sure that I want to go through the whole process again though... Nice to know that the support for mysql is there if/when I do go to 5.8.
From: "Scott Campbell" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I just saw this in the CPAN documentation for the DBD-Mysql module: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 I will be trying it later on 5.8.0 to see if it works. It might be worth a try for you.
