Cygwin & DBI

[buggy]

I am using Cygwin and I have downloaded the lastest version of this module (DBI) which I wish to install:

I type:

perl makefile.pl
make
make test
make install.

When I run the script calling this module i get the following error. I have installed this module with ppm previously with no errors.

Note : test.pl line 149 is where I try and connect to the database.

Quite simply, you also need to download and install the DBD::mysql module.

when I try to perl makefile 'DBD::mysql', i get
