There are perl DBD drivers included with RH7.3 for both PostgreSQL and MySQL. I am pretty sure they have been distributed with all RH versions 6.x and greater, maybe even earlier. You need the perl-DBI* rpm and the perl-DBD-mysql* rpm. You should be able to find them on any RH mirror. Check the updates, too. I think they did get some work done to them. Try www.rpmfind.net if you have trouble.
There is a way to take any module off of CPAN and convert it into an RPM using the cpanflute program. Search google for cpanflute and you can probably find a HOWTO on it. It's surprisingly easy. It is a RH perl programmer's best friend. -Ken On Tue, 11 Jun 2002, Chris Young wrote: > I have been trying to install a Perl module DBD::mysql on our Red Hat 7.2 machine >and keep running into problems.
