Well, I tried building DBD::mysql. After much hacking, I got it to build. The big problem was first that the client libs were for a version of mysql no longer supported by DBD::mysql. But I got an older version that did support it, and got pretty far ... until three needed symbols were not in the client library. Argh. I tried commenting them out (mysql_create_table, mysql_drop_table, and mysql_info; a hobbled module is better than one that doesn't exist :) and it built. Then I got this on trying to use it: # Can't load 'Bird:src:Pudge:pudgeprogs:perl:site_specific:MacPPC:auto:DBD:mysql:mysql' for module DBD::mysql: # DynaLoader error [-2807, mysql--mysql_fetch_field]. File 'Bird:MacPerl Ÿ:lib:DynaLoader.pm'; Line 172 Sigh. Does anyone have an idea what's wrong here?
