Perl Installation Notes

The Perl dbi module provides a generic interface for database access. You can write a dbi script

that works with many different database engines without change. To use dbi, you must install the dbi

module, as well as a DataBase Driver (DBD) module for each type of database server you want to

access. For MySQL, this driver is the DBD: :mysql module.

Perl, and the DBD: :MySQL module for dbi must be installed if you want to run the MySQL benchmark

Scripts; see Section 8.12.2, “The MySQL Benchmark Suitę”.
