mysql web integration

[Don Harrop]

I've recently aquired a web site that uses perl and mysql.  The guy that
owns the web site had it written for him and doesn't know much about the
technical setup of his web site.  In order to accomodate him I've installed
mysql.  It's running just fine but I've never used mysql and only have a
basic limited understanding.  I have a comma seperated ascii file with the
database contents and I'm not sure how to import it into mysql.  Also when I
run replicator2000.cgi?admin it gives me a cgi error:

CGI Error:
Message: fatal error: [Fri May 19 10:10:29 2000] replicator2000.cgi:
DBD::mysql initialisation failed: [Fri May 19 10:10:29 2000]
replicator2000.cgi: Can't locate object method "driver" via package
"DBD::mysql" at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/i386-linux/DBI.pm line 481.

[Fri May 19 10:10:29 2000] replicator2000.cgi:
[Fri May 19 10:10:29 2000] replicator2000.cgi: Perhaps the capitalisation of
DBD 'mysql' isn't right. at db_func.cgi line 10

I'm not sure exactly where the problem is but in order to fix it I ran
perl -MCPAN -e 'install Bundle::DBD::mysql' to possibly fix the error by
getting the most current DBD stuff.  It ran almost all the way through but
didn't pass two of the tests so it didn't update.  See below..   I'm not
sure if this is the best way to fix my original cgi error though?  Any
ideas, comments on how to fix either error?
