Perhaps the DBD::mysql perl module hasn't been fully installed,
or perhaps the capitalisation of 'mysql' isn't right.
Available drivers: DBM, ExampleP, File, Gofer, Proxy, SQLite, Sponge, mysqlPP.

This error is caused because the DBD-mysql perl module is NOT installed. I ran into this issue ever since the Nov update and could not get the import_spells.pl or export_spells.pl scripts to run. After getting around to conducting some research on it now that my time has freed up, the issue seems to be that the default PPM package availability list no longer has DBD-mysql listed as an option. The DBD-mysqlPP will NOT WORK for the sake of the spell scripts and you must install the normal DBD-mysql module. To install it, follow these steps:
1. open the Perl Package Manager
2. click the Edit menu - Preferences
3. click the Repositories tab
4. In the location box type "http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/"
5. Click Add
6. Click OK
7. Install the DBD-mysql package
OR
1. open a command line prompt
2. type "ppm install
http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/DBD-mysql.ppd
"
3. Press Enter
At this point, the import/export scripts will run correctly.
