This caused me a little grief, so I thought that I would post it.
I wanted to be able to use the perl module DBD::mysql, to access a mysql database.
I installed 'MYSQL 3.23.56' and 'perl 5.004'. I installed the DBI module. I compiled the DBD:mysql module.
When I ran 'make test', I got the following type of error:
"PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 /usr/bin/perl -I.././blib/arch -I.././blib/lib -I/A/perl/lib/a
lpha-dec_osf/5.00401 -I/A/perl/lib -e 'use Test::Harness qw(&runtests $verbose);

I browsed some mailing lists and read somewhere that I should try to copile this module with the options --static and --config, so I did.
.perl Makefile.PL --config --static make make test (This time it worked) make install
Can someone tell me what effect these two options (--config, --static) have on the installation?
Thanks.
