If you are using ActiveState Perl, then install the module via PPM.
Manual installation on the WinXP is time consuming and you will have to
do a lot of googling on the solutions to the error messages you get or
post to the relevant Mysql mailing list. The installation of the module
itself is o.k but you need to get the Myql environment right before a
successful install of the module.

Subject: Query on databases
Hi all,
Im a beginner in databases.
Can you please let me know which DBD and DBI is required if I m using
MySQL
database.
I tried using
use DB_File;
It throws error as follows.
Can't locate DB_File.pm in @INC (@INC contains: C:/Perl/lib
C:/Perl/site/lib .)
Please tell me what is missing.
I would say that what is missing is DB_File.pm, as it can not be located
use DBI; (acual syntax to use it)
its easy to use
and a quick search on CPAN for 'DBI' will tell you everything you need to
know
http://search.cpan.org/~timb/DBI-1.48/DBI.pm
Thanks,
Gayatri.
