Perl DBD Mysql Install

[Akkadius]

Since ActiveState now cockblocks all PPM installs without a $1,000 business edition license (Dumb). You will need to install DBD a different way for now.

This type of information will be easily available in the new Wiki that we have on the way (Which is awesome). You can install DBD MySQL (Perl Module) through this simple alternate repo:

ppm install http://www.bribes.org/perl/ppm/DBD-mysql.ppd
Downloading DBD-mysql-4.023...done
Unpacking DBD-mysql-4.023...done
Generating HTML for DBD-mysql-4.023...done
Updating files in site area...done
  12 files installed

I spent several hours online trying to work around this for a 5.10 1204 build version but just about all of the workarounds have dead ends. For something that normally takes a few seconds...

Thanks to c0ncrete of all things for a the alternate repo link. A lot of alternate repos are actually dead for 5.10.

Here is also a list of alternate repos:

To install other modules, you can manually HTTP browse for them by sifting the root of the index directory:
