one quick thing I noticed since you stressed for the beginners to type thing EXACTLY as you did, in a few places you missed the spaces in the mysql login command. example: mysql -uroot -ppassword or are spaces not required there? never tried without spaces.

Ya, just like joligario replied, you can login to mysql without using a space between -u and root, so its typed -uroot (just like that)
And the same for your password -ppassword.
So if your user name was root and password was fufu, you would type:

mysql -uroot -pfufu

just had never actually tried to do it like that before, so had no idea.

Tried it with perl 5.12 and after changing a couple references to perl510 to perl512 in the vb project it compiled and seems to run well.

i'll tear it back down and put perl 5.10 in there, but just thought i'd try it.

Thanks for this consolidated information thread, it made this a LOT easier..

Trying to make sense of these SQL scripts hurts my head simply because there are so many minor issues with them. Just to get the server up, I just dumped all of the required ones into 1 sql file and told it to run and not stop on error. Wasn't too worried if something was not perfect since i'm gonna blow it back out anyway.
