@subsection Installing Perl on Unix
Perl support for @strong{MySQL} is provided by means of the
@code{DBI}/@code{DBD} client interface. @xref{Perl}. The Perl
@code{DBD}/@code{DBI} client code requires Perl Version 5.004 or later. The
interface @strong{will not work} if you have an older version of Perl.
@strong{MySQL} Perl support also requires that you've installed
@strong{MySQL} client programming support. If you installed @strong{MySQL}
from RPM files, client programs are in the client RPM, but client programming
support is in the developer RPM. Make sure you've installed the latter RPM.
As of Version 3.22.8, Perl support is distributed separately from the main
@strong{MySQL} distribution. If you want to install Perl support, the files
you will need can be obtained from
@uref{http://www.mysql.com/Downloads/Contrib/}.
The Perl distributions are provided as compressed @code{tar} archives and
have names like @file{MODULE-VERSION.tar.gz}, where @code{MODULE} is the
module name and @code{VERSION} is the version number. You should get the
@code{Data-Dumper}, @code{DBI}, and @code{Msql-Mysql-modules} distributions
and install them in that order. The installation procedure is shown below.
The example shown is for the @code{Data-Dumper} module, but the procedure is
the same for all three distributions:
@enumerate
@item
Unpack the distribution into the current directory:
@example
shell> gunzip < Data-Dumper-VERSION.tar.gz | tar xvf -
@end example
This command creates a directory named @file{Data-Dumper-VERSION}.
@item
Change into the top-level directory of the unpacked distribution:
@example
shell> cd Data-Dumper-VERSION
@end example
@item
Build the distribution and compile everything:
@example
shell> perl Makefile.PL
shell> make
shell> make test
shell> make install
@end example
@end enumerate
The @code{make test} command is important because it verifies that the
module is working. Note that when you run that command during the
@code{Msql-Mysql-modules} installation to exercise the interface code, the
@strong{MySQL} server must be running or the test will fail.
It is a good idea to rebuild and reinstall the @code{Msql-Mysql-modules}
distribution whenever you install a new release of @strong{MySQL},
particularly if you notice symptoms such as all your @code{DBI} scripts
dumping core after you upgrade @strong{MySQL}.
If you don't have the right to install Perl modules in the system directory
or if you to install local Perl modules, the following reference may help
you:
@example
@uref{http://www.iserver.com/support/contrib/perl5/modules.html}
@end example
Look under the heading

@subsection Installing ActiveState Perl on Windows
@cindex installing, Perl on Windows
@cindex Perl, installing on Windows
@cindex ActiveState Perl
To install the @strong{MySQL} @code{DBD} module with ActiveState Perl on
Windows, you should do the following:
@itemize @bullet
@item
Get ActiveState Perl from
@uref{http://www.activestate.com/Products/ActivePerl/index.html}
and install it.
@item
Open a DOS shell.
@item
If required, set the HTTP_proxy variable. For example, you might try:
@example
set HTTP_proxy=my.proxy.com:3128
@end example
@item
Start the PPM program:
@example
C:\> c:\perl\bin\ppm.pl
@end example
@item
If you have not already done so, install @code{DBI}:
@example
ppm> install DBI
@end example
@item
If this succeeds, run the following command:
@example
install ftp://ftp.de.uu.net/pub/CPAN/authors/id/JWIED/DBD-mysql-1.2212.x86.ppd
@end example
@end itemize
The above should work at least with ActiveState Perl Version 5.6.
If you can't get the above to work, you should instead install the
@strong{MyODBC} driver and connect to @strong{MySQL} server through
ODBC:
@example
use DBI;
$dbh= DBI->connect("DBI:ODBC:$dsn","$user","$password") ||
die "Got error $DBI::errstr when connecting to $dsn\n";

@subsection Installing the MySQL Perl Distribution on Windows
The @strong{MySQL} Perl distribution contains @code{DBI},
@code{DBD:MySQL} and @code{DBD:ODBC}.
@itemize @bullet
@item

@uref{http://www.mysql.com/download.html}.
@item
Unzip the distribution in @code{C:} so that you get a @file{C:\PERL} directory.
@item

@subsection Problems Using the Perl @code{DBI}/@code{DBD} Interface
If Perl reports that it can't find the @file{../mysql/mysql.so} module,
then the problem is probably that Perl can't locate the shared library
@file{libmysqlclient.so}.
You can fix this by any of the following methods:
@itemize @bullet
@item
Compile the @code{Msql-Mysql-modules} distribution with @code{perl
Makefile.PL -static -config} rather than @code{perl Makefile.PL}.
@item
Copy @code{libmysqlclient.so} to the directory where your other shared
libraries are located (probably @file{/usr/lib} or @file{/lib}).
@item
On Linux you can add the pathname of the directory where
@file{libmysqlclient.so} is located to the @file{/etc/ld.so.conf} file.
@tindex LD_RUN_PATH environment variable
@tindex Environment variable, LD_RUN_PATH
@item
Add the pathname of the directory where @file{libmysqlclient.so} is located
to the @code{LD_RUN_PATH} environment variable.
@end itemize
If you get the following errors from @code{DBD-mysql},
you are probably using @code{gcc} (or using an old binary compiled with
@code{gcc}):
@example
/usr/bin/perl: can't resolve symbol '__moddi3'
/usr/bin/perl: can't resolve symbol '__divdi3'
@end example
Add @code{-L/usr/lib/gcc-lib/... -lgcc} to the link command when the
@file{mysql.so} library gets built (check the output from @code{make} for
@file{mysql.so} when you compile the Perl client). The @code{-L} option
should specify the pathname of the directory where @file{libgcc.a} is located
on your system.
Another cause of this problem may be that Perl and @strong{MySQL} aren't both
compiled with @code{gcc}. In this case, you can solve the mismatch by
compiling both with @code{gcc}.
If you get the following error from @code{Msql-Mysql-modules}
when you run the tests:
@example
t/00base............install_driver(mysql) failed: Can't load '../blib/arch/auto/DBD/mysql/mysql.so' for module DBD::mysql: ../blib/arch/auto/DBD/mysql/mysql.so: undefined symbol: uncompress at /usr/lib/perl5/5.00503/i586-linux/DynaLoader.pm line 169.
@end example
it means that you need to include the compression library, -lz, to the
link line. This can be doing the following change in the file
@file{lib/DBD/mysql/Install.pm}:
@example
$sysliblist .= " -lm";
to
$sysliblist .= " -lm -lz";
@end example
After this, you MUST run 'make realclean' and then proceed with the
installation from the beginning.
If you want to use the Perl module on a system that doesn't support dynamic
linking (like SCO) you can generate a static version of Perl that includes
@code{DBI} and @code{DBD-mysql}. The way this works is that you generate a
version of Perl with the @code{DBI} code linked in and install it on top of
your current Perl. Then you use that to build a version of Perl that
additionally has the @code{DBD} code linked in, and install that.
On SCO, you must have the following environment variables set:
@example
shell> LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/lib:/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib:/usr/progressive/lib
or
shell> LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib:/lib:/usr/local/lib:/usr/ccs/lib:/usr/progressive/lib:/usr/skunk/lib
shell> LIBPATH=/usr/lib:/lib:/usr/local/lib:/usr/ccs/lib:/usr/progressive/lib:/usr/skunk/lib
shell> MANPATH=scohelp:/usr/man:/usr/local1/man:/usr/local/man:/usr/skunk/man:
@end example
First, create a Perl that includes a statically linked @code{DBI} by running
these commands in the directory where your @code{DBI} distribution is
located:
@example
shell> perl Makefile.PL -static -config
shell> make
shell> make install
shell> make perl
@end example
Then you must install the new Perl. The output of @code{make perl} will
indicate the exact @code{make} command you will need to execute to perform
the installation. On SCO, this is @code{make -f Makefile.aperl inst_perl
MAP_TARGET=perl}.
Next, use the just-created Perl to create another Perl that also includes a
statically-linked @code{DBD::mysql} by running these commands in the
directory where your @code{Msql-Mysql-modules} distribution is located:
@example
shell> perl Makefile.PL -static -config
shell> make
shell> make install
shell> make perl
@end example
Finally, you should install this new Perl. Again, the output of @code{make
perl} indicates the command to use.

on your system.
Another cause of this problem may be that Perl and @strong{MySQL} aren't both

After this, you MUST run 'make realclean' and then proceed with the
installation from the beginning.
If you want to use the Perl module on a system that doesn't support dynamic
linking (like SCO) you can generate a static version of Perl that includes
@code{DBI} and @code{DBD-mysql}. The way this works is that you generate a
version of Perl with the @code{DBI} code linked in and install it on top of
your current Perl. Then you use that to build a version of Perl that
additionally has the @code{DBD} code linked in, and install that.
On SCO, you must have the following environment variables set:
@example
shell> LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/lib:/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib:/usr/progressive/lib
or
shell> LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib:/lib:/usr/local/lib:/usr/ccs/lib:/usr/progressive/lib:/usr/skunk/lib
shell> LIBPATH=/usr/lib:/lib:/usr/local/lib:/usr/ccs/lib:/usr/progressive/lib:/usr/skunk/lib
shell> MANPATH=scohelp:/usr/man:/usr/local1/man:/usr/local/man:/usr/skunk/man:
@end example
First, create a Perl that includes a statically linked @code{DBI} by running
these commands in the directory where your @code{DBI} distribution is
located:
@example
shell> perl Makefile.PL -static -config
shell> make
shell> make install
shell> make perl
@end example
Then you must install the new Perl. The output of @code{make perl} will
indicate the exact @code{make} command you will need to execute to perform
the installation. On SCO, this is @code{make -f Makefile.aperl inst_perl
MAP_TARGET=perl}.
Next, use the just-created Perl to create another Perl that also includes a
statically-linked @code{DBD::mysql} by running these commands in the
directory where your @code{Msql-Mysql-modules} distribution is located:
@example
shell> perl Makefile.PL -static -config
shell> make
shell> make install
shell> make perl
@end example
Finally, you should install this new Perl. Again, the output of @code{make
perl} indicates the command to use.
