Re: [mv] MySql DBI problems

I have just finished getting InterChange to work with MySql on a Solaris OS 
and it took quite some time only becuase I had not installed all the proper 
perl mods needed. My initial install of Perl5.6 did not include any DB_File 
stuff. I saw a bundle::interchange at Cpan but I did not use it, I installed each 
mod seperately listed in the POD file documents that come with the 
interchange release.  If I recall you cant install dbi::mysql before you have a 
valid Berkeley install and things like that. They all need to pass the tests too.

I had to read each README file to see if other mods where also needed and 
made a list in order of installing for my system. For example the Bundle_Lwp 
requires other mods.

go to the src directory of your InterChange install and check out the pod 
directory. Run pod2html on the docs and youll have some good web 
references. 
(pod2html -h for help)
