Problem installing the DBD::mysql
 

Hi,

I'm trying install DBD::mysql and I follow the 'How to'.
The following commands are executed:


root@ubuntu:/# perl -MCPAN -e shell

cpan shell -- CPAN exploration and modules installation (v1.94)
ReadLine support enabled

cpan[1]> install Bundle::DBD::mysql
CPAN: Storable loaded ok (v2.18)
Going to read '/root/.cpan/Metadata'

CPAN: LWP::UserAgent loaded ok (v5.826)
CPAN: Time::HiRes loaded ok (v1.9711)

I would like to connect to one of the following sites to get 'authors/01mailrc.txt.gz':

http://www.perl.org/CPAN/
ftp://ftp.perl.org/pub/CPAN/

Is it OK to try to connect to the Internet? [yes] y

That's pretty odd, normally the CPAN tool is a lot more informative than that.
You could try the gurus over at www.perlmonks.org. That's where the Perl community hangs out.

HI, Chris.

It does not help me much. Anyway, Thank you for your help. :)
