Unable to connect to MySQL database while installing PERL script

    I just attempted to install a PERL script on my Godaddy Linux hosting account and I keep getting this message:

    install_driver(mysql) failed: Can't locate DBD/mysql.pm in @inc (@inc contains: Modules . /usr/local/lib64/perl5 /usr/local/share/perl5 /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib64/perl5 /usr/share/perl5) at (eval 9) line 3.
    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.
    at install.cgi line 79

    The database is setup but I can't connect to it. What am I doing wrong here?

    Hello,

    Has the DBD::mysql perl module been installed, and it is available? Even if you have MySQL (the server) available, you will still need the module installed to talk to it.

    Regards,
    Chris
