(RADIATOR) Active perl mysql module

[Hugh Irvine]

Hello Alex -

If you run ppm in a terminal window you can pass it parameters, ie:

	ppm install DBD-mysql

it turns out that the module they have is case sensitive and it is  
all lower case (apologies).

Note that you will need MySQL installed as well so you have the  
client libraries available.

If you run ppm without parameters it starts the new gui.

If you click on the left most icon you will get the complete list of  
modules available (and those that are installed).

hope that helps

regards

Hugh
