I use MySQL on both Win2K and FreeBSD. The module you want is DBI, and you can get all the information you need about DBD and DBI in DBI::FAQ. That's available here:
http://search.cpan.org/author/TIMB/DBI-1.30/lib/DBI/FAQ.pm The MySQL documentation on their site is comprehensive and will tell you a lot about what you need to know. http://www.mysql.com/documentation/mysql/bychapter/ To learn the SQL/MySQL ropes, I'd say the first stop I'd make is at your local bookstore (or one of the discount bookstores online) to pick up "MySQL (Other New Riders)" and "MySQL and Perl for the Web" by Paul DuBois, and the O'Reilly book "Programming the Perl DBI" is always a good reference point. ----- Scot Robnett inSite Internet Solutions Square West Center 454 West Jackson Street Woodstock, IL 60098 (815)206-2907 office (815)342-6480 mobile [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.insiteful.tv -----Original Message----- From: Octavian Rasnita [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, October 14, 2002 11:27 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Using MySQL Hi all, I want to start learning MySQL. I've downloaded MySQL for Windows, because I will use it under Win 2k. Can you tell me what else do I need to use MySQL databases? What DBI, DBM, DBD, etc modules I need to be able to use it? With MySQL I am at the level 0 for the moment, I don't know anything. Thank you very much for your hints.
