Hi Alex,

	I'd be more than a bit surprised if you could get DBD::mysql
module installed on a Qube. Fortunately you don't need it. The DBI
interface is the current standard and the interface that the MySQL
developers recomend using. It'll side right onto your Qube without a
hitch. Rest assured, unless you're installing this module for
someone who writes Perl code on something like an s/390 (IBM
mainframe) then the module you want to install is DBI.

	Peace be with you,
