Software error:
Can't locate object method "driver" via package "DBD::mysql" at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/i386-linux/DBI.pm line 600.

Sounds like you're missing a CPAN module.

run:
perl -MCPAN -e shell

and type
install DBD::mysql
C:\DOS:>
C:\DOS:>RUN
RUN DOS RUN!!

Hi,



If its redhat, you'd just need the perl-DBI rpm installed. E.g. for 7.2 --> ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/redhat/7.2/en/os/i386/RedHat/RPMS/perl-DBI-1.18-1.i386.rpm



I tend to install as much as possible from rpm as this keeps all the dependencies up to date. For example, if you wanted to install a package that 'required' (in rpm terminilogy) perl-DBI then you would probably end up installing that rpm even though you already had it direct from CPAN.



Regards
