Sorry if the following questions are not in the correct perl
terminology, I'm a C++/C#/php coder picking up Perl for the first time!

I'm trying to run perl from the command line on Windows XP Professional
without installing it, so far I've got perl working by putting perl.exe
and perl58.dll into the tools folder that rolled out to everyone in my
company from source control (Perforce) for running the latest tools
from. So all our users just need to do is sync to Perforce to get the
latest tools. Perl was originally added because we found that batch
files where not powerful enough to do the type of string processing we
required.

Now I am wanting to analyze log files with Perl and dump the results in
a MySQL database. I know I want the DBI and DBD-MySQL modules and I've
already downloaded them but what files do these modules consist of at
the bare minimum and can I just copy them into the tools folder
alongside perl.exe and it will work or am I going to have to install the
modules on each user machine to get to use the modules with Perl?

Cheers,

Daniel

you should see, when you used ppm install DBI (for example), on your
hdd is path something like:
D:PerlsitelibDBI
+ D:PerlsitelibDBI.pm
and you need these files on remote machines too.

Also, on those remotes is MYSQL installed ?

It is not good idea map network drive for reading ?

....hm and what is that CGI problem ? :)
