Hello,
I use Apache/Perl/MySQL on Linux (and play games on Win 98 :-), so this is
just a guess. The 502 error sounds like Apache complaining that "c:\" is
not a recognized protocol. In the install command, try putting the ppd
file in a directory Apache can see (let's use the HTML root directory for
simplicity) and then install
http://localhost/DBD-mysql-1.12212.x86.ppd. See if that helps.
Good luck,
Paul
