The way things work now: we install into a vendor_perl directory, cpan installs into a 'site' (local) directory. If you install a macports module and the same module from cpan, they both install (into their own directories). The way we have macports perl configured, it will search your site (local) directory, then the vendor directory, then the directory where all the stuff that ships with perl lives. This means, that your site (local/cpan) installed modules will override what macports installs (which may or may not be what you want). Ok, that's actually better than I anticipated. :) ___ macports-users mailing list macports-users@lists.macosforge.org http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-users
DBD::mysql question
Hi. I’m trying to install p5.12-dbd-mysql but it starts to download MySQL 5 with a view, I should imagine, to install that first. Seeing as I’ve rolled my own MySQL what’s the syntax to port install p5.12-dbd-mysql without MySQL? Is it sudo port install p5.12-dbd-mysql -mysql5? Any help appreciated, Cheers, Phil. -- Please consider the environment before reading this email... ___ macports-users mailing list macports-users@lists.macosforge.org http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-users

DBI is the DataBase-Independent module; it doesn't depend on any database engine; DBD are the DataBase-Dependent modules; each of them depend on the libraries for their respective database engines. You write your abstract database-independent perl code to talk to DBI, which then talks to the appropriate DBD module to actually talk to the specific database you're using. Two questions for you... 1. Why did you compile your MySQL server yourself? Why not use the MacPorts mysql5-server port? 2. Even if you want to continue using your own hand-compiled MySQL server, that's not a problem. p5-dbd-mysql should happily talk to it. In order to do so, it will need its own copies of the MySQL libraries, as installed by the mysql5 port. So just let MacPorts install the mysql5 port for you, even if you don't plan to use it as your server. ___ macports-users mailing list macports-users@lists.macosforge.org http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-users

I’d originally downloaded installed the MySQL binary but that proved problematical as I’d used the 32-bit version the perl I’d installed in /usr/local/ (not wanting to mess with the system perl) was 64-bit therefore they wouldn’t play nice. At the time I hadn’t looked at MacPorts (wish I had) mainly because in years gone by I’d used Fink didn’t particularly enjoy the experience (YMMV). So I compiled MySQL 64-bit from source. However, when it came to apache2 I read up on MacPorts decided to try it. 2.

If MacPorts installed the ports for you, in response to a port you asked to have installed, then they're not superfluous. Having multiple perls installed is annoying, I agree.
