David,
Please don't trying to circumvent the established support channels -- it
only irritates those who might otherwise have helped you.
If you had paid the slightest attention to the questions I answer, you'd
have noticed that MSWin32 essentially never figures in the material, and
Informix usually (but not always) does figure, which makes your message
doubly irksome. Please follow the protocols; subscribe to the mailing
list, and ask questions of the mailing list.

Im using Active Perl 5.6 build 626 for my project at university im trying
to use perl to connect to the database and am having a few problems
downloading the DBD driver for Mysql, im also using PPM to do so and when i
type in the 'install DBD::Mysql' command it returns an error message as
follows: 'Error installing package 'DBD-mysql': Read a PPD for 'DBD-mysql,
but it is not intended for this build of Perl (MSWin32-x86-multi-thread)'
Im running it under Windows 98. If you have any ideas regarding what might
be going wrong and how to solve it, i would be very grateful if you could
send me an e-mail.
Thanks
David da Costa
