Hi,
This involves a situation using xampp on a windows10 machine. I’m getting the following error when I try to access mysql.
Software error:
install_driver(mysql) failed: Can't load 'C:/xampp/perl/vendor/lib/auto/DBD/mysql/mysql.dll' for module DBD::mysql: load_file:The specified module could not be found at C:/xampp/perl/lib/DynaLoader.pm line 190.
at (eval 9) line 3.
Compilation failed in require at (eval 9) line 3.
Perhaps a required shared library or dll isn't installed where expected
at C:/xampp/cgi-bin/dir/script.pl line 418.
My connection line (line 418)was: my $dbh = DBI->connect('dbi:mysql:vssa:localhost','root','') or die('Couldnt connect');
I searched and the mysql.dll' was there as was the module DBD::mysql: but the one listed after that I could not find which is load_file. I looked on c-pan at the DBD::mysql module and found no load_file.
I know it probably isn’t a mysql problem because phpmyadmin loads up and I imported some sql files successfully through it.
In advance I give my thanks and hope I can get this going.
