cancel that question... I just discovered the package is called perl-Mysql-1.22_19-5mdk
The naming conventions for perl modules in mandrake really needs some work... they should copy the ppm package names, at least they are uniform.. it should be something like this: perl-DBD-mysql-xx.xx.rpm Just like the pg module.. eg: perl-DBD-Pg-1.01-4mdk.i586.rpm but there appears to be no real naming convention in place here.... go figure... rgds Frank -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Franki Sent: Thursday, 2 January 2003 4:56 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [expert] DBI/DBD::mysql on Mandrake 9.0 Hi guys, I just heard that the perl DBD::mysql module has not yet been ported over to perl 5.8 Can anyone verify that?? Why on earth would mandrake standardize on 5.8 if such a basic module is missing? I mean who doesn't use mysql with their perl scripts??? I have a rather large webapp with mysql DB to put online for work.. and I was going to use a mandrake box as the server.. if I can't get the DBI code to work.. then I am shit out of luck and will have to use either an older distro, or figure out another alternative.. A search of rpmfind: http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=perl-DBD&submit=Search+.. .&system=Mandrake&arch= shows modules for CSV and pg... but no Mysql... (neither did rpmdrake obviously) Any tips on what to do here??? does anyone know if the module will compile on mdk9.0???? I suppose I could install perl5.6.1 on the box.. but that would likely break all the mandrake stuff that now relies on 5.8... I'd love to hear some opinions here.. regards Frank
