2.7.3 Installing the MySQL Perl Distribution on Windows

The MySQL Perl distribution contains DBI, DBD:MySQL and DBD:ODBC.

• Get the Perl distribution for Windows from http://www.mysql.com/downloads/os-win32.html.
• Unzip the distribution in C: so that you get a `C:\PERL' directory.
• Add the directory `C:\PERL\BIN' to your path.
• Add the directory `C:\PERL\BIN\MSWIN32-x86-thread' or `C:\PERL\BIN\MSWIN32-x86' to your path.
• Test that perl works by executing perl -v in a DOS shell.
