I am trying to get Perl to talk to the MySQL server. I have several cgi scripts that use the DBI-MySQL interface. I tried to use the source files, but THERE IS NO MAKE.
So I fouind the rpm files for RH 7.1 (I am using e-smith 5) and installed them.
mysql-devel-3.23.36-1.i386.rpm
perl-DBD-MySQL-1.2215-1.i386.rpm
perl-DBI-1.14-10.i386.rpm
And still no go....
Anyone out there done this or can help me?
The exact error that I am getting now (from the command line invoking perl) is:
Can't locate object method "connect" via package "DBI" at myprog.cgi line 15
this line is the std
my $db = DBI-connect('DBI:mysql:mydb', 'myid', 'mypassword');
Help!
