Hi there, i have a problem i need to resolve before buying links sql, i hope someone can help :)

I have Perl and MySQL on my server. The problem is the linke:

Perl database modules: DBI and the appropriate DBD module loaded,

I tested the following (this is what Alex said to do)

:

perl -MDBI -e 'print "ok\n"'

and

perl -MDBD::mysql -e 'print "ok\n"'

and the first one gave ok but the second one failed.

Unfortunatly, i am not a good sysadmin :) and don't know what the later one means, i assume it means the bit perl needs to access mysql is not there. So far i have only used php to access mysql.

What do I need to do to install this bit? is it a complete perl re-install (which i would not be able to do i don't think) or is it easier?

Also, mod_perl i doubt is intalled. Do many of you run links sql without mod_perl and does it work ok? I hear it is hard to install and don't think I can currently afford to get someone to install it. I assume it is something that could be added at a later date.

Thanks for any help, it will be greatly appreciated :)
