Installing DBI & DBD Perl driver for MYSQL

[Terry Meager]

Operating system: HP-UX 11i
Downloaded version:
mysql-standard-4.1.8-hpux11.11
Perl V: B.5.6.1.C

I have installed the above MYSQL
The aplication I need to install requires the installation of DBI & DBD modules.
I have downloaded the ....tar.gz files & need to know what directory they should be installed to/from. And is there a specific procedure for this. The MYSQL manual at mysql.com doesn't specify.

mysql is intalled at:
/usr/local/mysql-standard-4.1.8-hpux11.11-hppa2.0w

Hi,

isn't there a readme file and an installation procedure?

greetings,

Michael

# for (almost) all modules, the procedure is either

# perl -MCPAN -e'install Mo::Dule'

or

# wget http://your.cpan.mirror/module/location/Mo-Dule-1.01.tar.gz
# gzip -d # cd Mo-Dule-1.01
# perl Makefile.PL
# make
# make test
# make install

For my purposes perl-5.6.1 is way to old.

Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn
