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:perlbinppm.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 $dsnn";
