HI,

I have been running mysql under windows for a while, but the mysql.pm version, now from cpan via PPM i can only find mysqlPP and this does not work for me. (cant find mysql.pm in @inc). Int finds the mysqlPP driver.

What can I do??

See the mail below, which I have received some weeks ago. I'd be glad, if you could write to ppm-...@ActiveState.com and request a PPM distribution.

Hello Jochen,

I'm forwarding your email to the maintainer of the repository. I'm certain we will be adding the DBD::mysql module for ActivePerl 5.8.0 in the near future.

For users of ActivePerl 5.8.0 we do provide two options.

The first is to request the package: If you've found that the requested module is not available through PPM, PPM3 or downloadable as a .zip file, requests for PPM packages can now be directed to: ppm-...@ActiveState.com

The second is to get the latest package from CPAN: You can always get the latest packages from CPAN. Instructions on querying, downloading and building perl modules from CPAN sites can be found here: http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Reference/Products/ActivePerl/lib/CPAN.html

Hopefully this helps to cut down on the email traffic you are seeing and to be certain, it's also in our interest to cut down on the amount of traffic going to supp...@activestate.com regarding this and other modules.

Please let me know if you have any further comments or questions.

Best Regards,

Rod Ballingall, ActiveState Technical Support www.ActiveState.com

Hi,

I am the author of the DBD::mysql module, which is the Perl driver for the well known MySQL database. In ActivePerl builds 5xx and 6xx, this module used to be available in the PPM repository. For ActivePerl 8xx, it isn't.

Currently I am receiving about 10-20 mails a week asking for this module. I cannot provide it for myself, since I am not a Windows user. Is there any chance that you can add it to the repository? I would offer any kind of help in case of problems.

Regards,

Jochen Wiedmann
