4.10.2 Installer ActiveState Perl sous Win32

To install the MySQL DBD module with ActiveState Perl on Win32, you should do the following:

• Open a DOS shell.
• If required, set the HTTP_proxy variable. For example, you might try: set HTTP_proxy=my.proxy.com:3128
• Start the PPM program: C:\perl\bin\ppm.pl
• If you have not already done so, install DBI: install DBI
• If this succeeds, install DBD::mysql: http://www.mysql.com/Contrib/ppd/DBD-mysql.ppd

If you can't get the above to work, you should instead install the MyODBC driver and connect to MySQL server through ODBC.

use DBI;
$dbh= DBI->connect("DBI:ODBC:$dsn","$user","$password") || 
  die "Got error $DBI::errstr when connecting to $dsn\n";
