Re: perl-DBD-mysql for MySQL4

[Joao Miguel Ferreira]

Rudy,

It worked.

It executed 'make' and then 'make test' with all tests ok and one test
skipped (the t/60leaks one). 'make install' also went ok.

About 'make test':
- did it really connect to MySQL to execute the tests ?
- or is it just an internal test ?
- If it did not connect to the database server, is there any quick way
to test this comunication ? maybe a sample script...?

Once again thanks for the quick help.
