Hello:
Since posting this problem, there has been 4-5 good responses except each
respondent has their own way of doing things. I am doing a fresh install of
RH9 & mysql-4.0.21. After that I will install PERL. Since I am in the
learning process, I do need the actual instructions. From what I can figure
out, I have to include "LANG" in my instructios to install PERL. I have
concluded that the following should be the sequence of instructions:
% perl -MCPAN -e shell
Note: Answer "no" to auto-configure perl.
cpan> LANG=C
cpan> install Bundle::CPAN
cpan> install Data::Dumper
cpan> install Bundle::DBI
cpan> install Bundle::DBD::mysql
Is it correct. If not please re-do these instructions for me so I can follow
someone's suggestion.
Thanks again.
Kirti

Subject: RE: Perl with MySQL
Hello:
RH9 + MySQL-4.0.21
Couple of days ago, I posted a message indicating that I was getting errors
when I install Perl modules. Here is my PERL installation sequence:
% perl -MCPAN -e shell
Note: Answer "no" to auto-configure perl.
cpan> install Bundle::CPAN
cpan> install Data::Dumper
cpan> install Bundle::DBI
cpan> install Bundle::DBD::mysql
After I enter the last/above "cpan> install Bundle::DBD::mysql" command,
there are number of output
lines & then this error:
---------------
>Using DBI 1.43 (for perl 5.08 on i386-linux-thread-multi) installed
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/auto/DBI
>Writing Makefile for DBD::mysql
>Makefile:89: *** missing seprator. Stop
/usr/bin/make --NOT OK
>Running make test
(other lines but .........)
---------------
I received several replies & suggestions. Most repondent said that maybe I
was using a BAD mirror site & other said to download the "DBD::mysql" module
& installing manually. Well I just did that and got the same errors.
First I downloaded DBD::mysql (DBD-mysql-2.9004.tar.gz)module from
www.cpan.org web site & followed the instructions for manual install. I got
the same error message. Then I downloade one older module
(DBD-mysql-2.9003.tar.gz)& tried doing a manual install. Same Error
">Makefile:89: *** missing seprator. Stop".
I have looked "line 89" in "Makefile". I can't tell "what septator is
MISSING. Any help is highly appreciated.
