I have been using mySQL for a while via C API and bin/mysql, but have
never used
perl before. I have the following:
use DBI
$dbh = DBI->connect("DBI:mysql:msp", "root", "<secret>") or die "bad
connect";
I always get bad connect. Database name, user and password are ones I
use for
bin/mysql. I have redhat 5 so didn't install latest DBI/DBD::mysql as it
needs libc6.
I am using mysql-DBI-perl-bin-1.825-1 from TcX and DBI matching this
version.
(I had some trouble finding matching DBI and mysql driver but it tells
you so I
think now its OK).
Hope someone can help.
thankyou
P.S. If answer is "you must download source and rebuild" please advise
where to find
the right one.
