AFAIK you need to install the perl dbi module from cpan

You should not need anything, the DBI is already there.  It could be that
the programmer
doesn't know how to interface with it.  I took a vanilla cobalt, and had a
whole mySQL site
working with out any issues.

If you search the archives, I put a sample config a while back, I am trying
to get into my
demo box, but it is down right now.  Pretty simple though to work with.

Thanks,
