[TriLUG] MySQL & Perl

[Steve Hoffman]

Every time I've installed DBD for mysql (mainly for bugzilla), I've had
issues installing.  If I remember correctly the installation problems were
not due to compilation errors, but failing too many tests...If you can
verify that you can force install DBD::mysql
otherwise do it manually:
exit cpan
cd /root/.cpan/build/DBD-mysql-2.9008/
make clean; perl Makefile.PL; make ; make install

if your error is during the Make process (don't even get to the tests
section) I seem to remember that on various distros (may just be RH, don't
remember) you had to change the default LANG..

HTH,
Steve
