That's a module to aid in debugging - is that what you were looking for? You have to compile it, which on Win32 requires some non-trivial modifications - we have a ppm package of it at http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppmpackages/ for ActivePerl 6xx.

Yes, this is what I want. I have downloaded the "Apache-DB.ppd", "Apache-DB.tar.gz" files from that repository, and install them manually.

Thanks!

Great ... I was confused about sending this to the @lists.mysql.com addresses ...

If instead you were looking for Apache-DBI, for database connections, this is under $CPAN/authors/id/A/AB/ABH/; this doesn't require a C compiler. We have a ppm package of it at the above location, for 6xx builds, and at http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/ for 8xx builds.

I have had installed DBI and DBD-Mysql package for 6xx builds before. Those are for database support. But today I also found the Apache-DBI package here. You said this is also for dababase connections? Any difference between Apache-DBI and DBI?

Apache-DBI (which requires DBI) is a module to allow persistent database connections when run under mod_perl, so that each invocation of a script or handler doesn't have to establish a new connection. This is useful if you're using the same connections over and over again (with the same table/username/password).
