Im trying to install the module DBD::mysql so I can connect to a mysql database from a perl script. The instructions for installing told me to run the command:
perl -MCPAN -e 'install Bundle::DBD::mysql' this did its thing, downloaded and unzipped some gz gfiles, etc. Then said everything was ok when it was done. I tried to run my script and it said it couldnt find the DBD:mysql module. So I checked my perl lib directories and there is no mysql.pm file anywhere in sight. I tried a million things, like actually placing the mysql.pm file in my lib directories then installing that file with (perl -MCPAN -e 'install DBD::mysql'), which seemed to install just fine, but the scipt still gives me errors. Now when I try to reinstall the whole bundle it gives me this error: ________________________ [i took out other stuff from here] DBD-mysql-2.9003/dbdimp.h DBD-mysql-2.9003/mysql.xs DBD-mysql-2.9003/MANIFEST.SKIP DBD-mysql-2.9003/README DBD-mysql-2.9003/INSTALL.html DBD-mysql-2.9003/Makefile.PL DBD-mysql-2.9003/ChangeLog DBD-mysql-2.9003/constants.h DBD-mysql-2.9003/TODO Removing previously used /root/.cpan/build/DBD-mysql-2.9003 CPAN.pm: Going to build R/RU/RUDY/DBD-mysql-2.9003.tar.gz Can't exec "mysql_config": No such file or directory at Makefile.PL line 174. readline() on closed filehandle PIPE at Makefile.PL line 176.

Perhaps a module that DBD::mysql requires hasn't been fully installed at load_data.pl line 18 _______ So, I guess the most interesting msg it gives me is "Failed to determine directory of mysql.h.". Do I need to install some sort of other mysql stuff on the server running perl? Because the mysql database Im trying to access is on a different server? Any ideas at all? Anything? Please? Please?
