You can check your path with echo $PATH Two more questions: (1) Since I have done partial installation, would it hurt if I re-do the entire Perl instalation or start from the command where the errors were encountered? You didn't break anything, you just didn't succeed in adding the module. Just go back into CPAN and try again. I'd suggest perl -MCPAN -e shell install Bundle::DBI install Bundle::DBD::mysql Installing the bundles will make sure you have everything you need. As you've already installed DBI, you'll already have most of what the bundles contain, and CPAN is smart enough not to reinstall what you already have. (2) I also have two Client MySQL servers (which connect to master MySQL server for data). Do I also need to install Perl on these Client MySQL Servers? I'm not sure what you mean by Client MySQL servers. Do you mean machines which need the mysql client to connect to the machine running the mysql server, or do you mean machines which will run the mysql server as slaves to the master server? In any case, you can run the mysql server and client without perl. On the other hand, a number of the helper apps in /usr/local/mysql/bin are perl scripts. Of course, you will need to install perl on any machine where you want to use perl to connect/manipulate your mysql data, and perl is handy to have around in general.

RE: Perl Modelues
First a big thanks to Mark, BAO, Beacker, Matthais, Rich Ken for their response. My problem was that I thought that I needed to download tar file to start the installation.

Re: Perl Modelues
Hi Kirti, mysql_config tell the perl build module how to link with the driver. The easiest way to fix this is make sure the bin driectory of MySQL is in your path. If you can type 'mysql_config' at the command line and get an answer like: Usage: /usr/local/bin/mysql_config [OPTIONS] Options: etc The perl DBD module should be able to find and use this program to configure itself. If you get a command not found error add the mysql bin driectory to the path. Ken - Original Message - From: Kirti S.

DBI only needs to be installed once. After the installtion, you may need to add as many as you need DBD::XXX. Yes. but from the OP's comment figuring out installation of Perl DBI modules, it seemed to me that this was his first-time encounter with DBI/DBD. And I just wanted to point out, that while he needs the underlying DBD::mysql drivers for DBI to work, that, contrary to intuition, he would need to install DBI first. - Mark -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
