Rich, You can get the DBD::mysql package from ActiveState at http://ppm.activestate.com/PPMPackages/zips/8xx-builds-only/Windows/DBD-mysql-2.9003.zip. The files in blib/arch should be copied to server/CPAN/arch/5.8/MSWin32-x86-multi-thread and those in blib/lib should be copied to server/CPAN.

That's very true and especially so at the junction of digital music, wireless networking, and cross-platform support. The level of quality of our software and hardware in the end is not determined just by the amount of testing we do in-house, but is a function of the number of real-world users

Dan, The problem seems related to the iTunesUpdate plugin. If the plugin hasn't been updated to be 6.0 compatible, we should disable it by default. The fact that it isn't disabled (seemingly even if you explicitly disable it in the UI) seems like a problem. To get going, however, I'd recommend
