Topic: Perl-MySQL RPM

[John Trombly]

Wanted:
e-smith RPM that installes the DBI-DBD functions so Perl can talk to MySQL.

I tried installing it from source, but e-smith does not come with MAKE (and that is probally a good thing). The RPMs that come from RH7.1 didn't help much either.

Having an e-smith RPM that will put this on the server would be very welcome.

At present, only PHP will talk to MySQL (other than command line).

If nothing else, perhaps a How-To so I can walk through it and get it put on there!

Just search for perl-DBD-MySQL and perl-DBI on http://www.rpmfind.net/. The versions for RedHat 7.1 or 7.2 should work just fine.

The reason I asked for this is because I cannot get it to work. Here is a screen shot of what I did

[root@gnatbox cgi-bin]# Can't locate object method "connect" via package "DBI"

So for some reason, it cannot find the connect method, or the RPMs did not put it where it needs to go.

Any ideas on this?

Oops... RPMs from RH work fine!
It would still be nice to have it on a contrib page!
