Hello,

I am trying to connect a Mysql Database to a perl
script. I am running FreeBSD-4.5, and have Perl
version 5.005_03 built for i386-freebsd. I have
installed and can use MySQL (3.23) on my machine. I
have installed all the stuff that I need to connect (I
think)...the following are install attempts in
p5-Mysql & p5-DBI & p5-DBD-mysql.

***********clipped************************************
===>  p5-Mysql-modules-1.2216 is already installed - 
***********clipped************************************


***********clipped************************************
===>  p5-DBI-1.21 is already installed
***********clipped************************************


***********clipped************************************
===>  p5-DBD-mysql-2.1010 is already installed
***********clipped************************************


Here is the script I am using:

#! /usr/bin/perl
use CGI;
use DBI;
$cgi = new CGI;
print "The CGI object was created successfully\n";
@driver_names = DBI->avalable_drivers ();
print "These DBI drivers are available:
@driver_names\n";
exit (0);


(from Paul Dubois's "MySQL and Perl for the Web")


Here is the error I am getting:

www# perl /home/thomas/projects/misc/intro2.pl
(offline mode: enter name=value pairs on standard
input)
The CGI object was created successfully
Can't locate auto/DBI/avalable_dr.al in @INC (@INC
contains: /usr/libdata/perl/5.00503/mach
/usr/libdata/perl/5.00503
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/i386-freebsd
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005 .) at
/home/thomas/projects/misc/intro2.pl line 6


I can't seem to figure out what is going on.
Everything is installed but I can't come up with any
information on "avalable_dr.al"....in the book, on
google, etc. Has anyone had this problem? How can I
fix it?


TIA,

Thomas Kersten
