Hi,
I have installed Active Perl 5.6 and DBI 1.48 in my XP system and the
list of the drivers doesnt seem to include mysql or Oracle.
Due to firewall restrictions, ppm> search mysql does not connect
either. So I downloaded mysql and tried perl Makefile.pl for that which
gave the following error:
'mysql_config' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
Cannot find the file 'mysql_config'! Your execution PATH doesn't seem
not contain the path to mysql_config. Resorting to guessed values!
Failed to determine directory of mysql.h. Use
perl Makefile.PL --cflags=-I<dir>
to set this directory. For details see the INSTALL.html file,
section "C Compiler flags" or type
perl Makefile.PL --help
What does this error mean? how can I install mysql driver so that I can
connect to database from perl at the earliest. Is there any other
driver I can use in place of mysql?
Hope I get some help from you guys,
Thanks
Ramya

Open, in a browser, C:/Perl/html/faq/ActivePerl-faq2.html#ppm - though you
might have to amend that link, depending upon where you have placed perl.
That will tell you how to deal with the "firewall restrictions".

I'm assuming you downloaded DBD::MySQL. You'll need a C compiler to build
that module. It's probably simpler for you to work around those firewall
restrictions, and install the DBD::MySQL ppm package. (If it's, in fact,
*not* simpler, then let us know ..... and someone mught be able to help :-)
Cheers,
Rob
