2.13 Perl Installation Notes
============================
Menu
* perl-installation Installing Perl on Unix
* activestate-perl Installing ActiveState Perl on Windows
* perl-support-problems Problems Using the Perl `DBI'/`DBD' Interface
Perl support for MySQL is provided by means of the `DBI'/`DBD' client
interface. The interface requires Perl 5.6.1 or later. It _does not
work_ if you have an older version of Perl.
If you want to use transactions with Perl DBI, you need to have
`DBD::mysql' version 1.2216 or newer. `DBD::mysql' 2.9003 or newer is
recommended.
If you are using the MySQL 4.1 or newer client library, you must use
`DBD::mysql' 2.9003 or newer.
Perl support is not included with MySQL distributions. You can obtain
the necessary modules from `http://search.cpan.org' for Unix, or by
using the ActiveState `ppm' program on Windows. The following sections
describe how to do this.
Perl support for MySQL must be installed if you want to run the MySQL
benchmark scripts. See mysql-benchmarks.
