Installing the MySQL Perl Distribution on Windows
-------------------------------------------------

The MySQL Perl distribution contains `DBI', `DBD:MySQL' and `DBD:ODBC'.

   * Get the Perl distribution for Windows from
     `http://www.mysql.com/download.html'.

   * Unzip the distribution in `C:' so that you get a `C:\PERL'
     directory.

   * Add the directory `C:\PERL\BIN' to your path.

   * Add the directory `C:\PERL\BIN\MSWIN32-x86-thread' or
     `C:\PERL\BIN\MSWIN32-x86' to your path.

   * Test that `perl' works by executing `perl -v' in a DOS shell.
