Yes - I think you'll find that the ActiveState binary works fine with your
perl (assuming they've built their binary against a suitable version of the
mySQL library). ActiveState binaries will generally work fine with a perl
built using MS VS.NET 2003. Exceptions are possible - I know only of one
such exception (Win32::SharedFileOpen) ...... well .... it would be an
exception ..... except that last time I looked, ActiveState didn't have a
binary for it anyway :-)

Can't really help much with that. Looks like 2 different (but probably
connected) complaints. First complaint is that DBD::mysql::FIELD_TYPE_STRING
(which is a perl constant) is not defined, and second complaint is that the
Mysql library constant FIELD_TYPE_STRING is not defined. One thing you could
do is to find out from the Mysql folk whether or not FIELD_TYPE_STRING
should exist in your particular version of the Mysql library. (Or maybe
there's something in a Mysql library Change log that will give you that
answer.)
Cheers,
Rob
