Hi everybody,
I have installed MySQL on my server a little while ago, and I have also installed the DBI and DBD:MySQL modules. However, when I tried to use a file which connects to MySQL, I got the following error:

[yl@fubar cgi-bin]$ perl test2.pl
install_driver(mysql) failed: Can't locate loadable object for module
DBD::mysql
in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5/5.00503/i386-linux
/usr/lib/perl5/5.0050
3 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/i386-linux /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005
.) at
(eval 1) line 3
Perhaps a module that DBD::mysql requires hasn't been fully installed
at test2.pl line 5

Does anyone know what it means and how to fix it?

I hope to hear from you soon.
Sincerely,
Yevgeniy Leshchinskiy

It means that there is something worng with your DBD:MySQL modules. A good solution would be to reinstall your DBI and DBD:MySQL modules. Use the CPAN installer if possible. It's less error prone.
