Dear Patrick,
To get a CGI working that web-enables MySQL (MySQL Data Manager--good
product--see www.edatanew.com), I installed the prerequisite PERL modules by
using fink. I was also getting "INC" errors, and I copied the following line
from someone else's CGI (Marc Liyanage's, I
think--www.entropy.ch/software/MacOSx/mysql/) into that provided by EDataNew
(inserted it as the first line of the CGI, to inform the script of the path
to the PERL libraries installed by Fink):
BEGIN {
unshift (@INC, "/sw/lib/perl5/darwin");
}
My script saw the PERL modules and started working. Hope the same works for
you. (I'm a little out of my depth, so try it only if you think it makes
sense.)
Sincerely,
Marc
