Does anyone have a clue what it needs to actually install DBD::Mysql

        Either your server is not up and running or you have no
        permissions for acessing the DSN DBI:mysql:test.
        This test requires a running server and write permissions.
        Please make sure your server is running and you have
        permissions, then retry.
    

note:  all references to the root user refer to the mysql root user, not
the OS root user.

you need to configure mysql to accept [EMAIL PROTECTED] w/o requiring a
password.  to do this, temporarily remove root's password.

mysqladmin -u root -p password ''

this will prompt you for root's current password. now when the dbd::mysql
tests run, they should be able to log in as root w/o a password.  when
you're done, reset the password back by running:

mysqladmin -u root password 'my.original.pass'

this time you shouldn't need to enter a password because you disabled it
with the first command.
