WOOT!

Anyway, anyone had any experience with installing modules in perl?

I want to install a module that will allow me to use MySQL, but I don't know how to install it.

Oooohh, New board! (second post)

::)

This is a serious topic, I do need help with perl modules.

Besides, second post isn't anything, it is the first that counts!

My experience with perl modules, was that they were just 'there'.

all the hosting systems I've been on, a mega-mega-laaarge number of them appeared in my perl config.

personally I hate perl with a passion, but when I have installed it on win32 or freebsd, most of the base modules were all there, CPAN stuff, etc.

I don't care much for perl either, I like php better, but I thought it would be fun to learn it as well.

I do have alot of modules pre-installed, except for the one I want/need to use MySQL. So... I have to figure out how to get it installed(or I can't use MySQL in perl).

Oh and, agigames.com has it installed, but I am trying to install it on my home/dev pc, because I develop on my home pc, then upload it to my site when I am done.

I don't know anything about Perl but I do know that PHPdev offers a kit that has Perl in it too. Be careful with this though, I had problems with PHPTriad and PHPdev bumping heads. As far as I know the PHPdev kit will install Perl, Apache, and MySQL all at once and run you through how to set up everything. I think they also have a messageboard where someone might be able to help out more.

I use phptriad myself, and I got my active perl from the phpdev toolkit(I studied how they installed it in phpdev, then installed it in phptriad). The only problem is that phpdev didn't have the mysql module already installed(and it doesn't come with active perl(perl for windows)).

forgot to say something:


CHRIS NEEDS HELP WITH SOMETHING!!!???

I am a newbie with perl, I just need to figure out how to install modules, I know how to program in perl already.
