Hi Hytham, Are you saying that you have already got Perl installed and talking to MySQL using Perl obtained from Perl.com rather than the ActiveState perl?
If so, what happens when you list available drivers using your Perl.com Perl version? You must be seeing MySQL no? I have to be honest, on Win32, I've only used ActiveStates version - its really good - is there a reason why you are trying to use 2 versions of Perl on the same box? If you are able to see mysql as an available driver and talking to it from the Perl.com distribution AND you CANNOT see it as an available driver in your ActiveState distribution then I am 95% certain that this is simply the fact that you haven't got the DBD driver installed for MySQL for ActiveState to see it and (in default setups) your Perl.com and ActiveState perl distributions will not share downloaded modules. So, what do you need to do? I think you need to go back to PPM and type "INSTALL DBD-Mysql" let me know how you get along joel -----Original Message----- From: Hytham Shehab [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 17 March 2002 22:12 To: yahoo; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: dbi module for ActivePerl thanks joel, but i try to see the available drivers with @x=DBI->available_drivers; it gives me Example and Proxy, with no sign of MySQL - mysql is installed and working properly with other version of perl, ie perl from perl.com - so what is the problem. thanks in advance. -- Hytham Shehab -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
