This is a Perl adaptor for the MySQL database. You'll need it if you have perl programs designed for the msql/PerlMsql team and want to adapt them to the mysql server (replacing the msql server). This is ABSOLUTELY "BETA" and not tested thoroughly. However, the "msql.t" and "pmsql" utilities that were included with MsqlPerl-1.16 are working fine with this replacement (and are included here, too). The code in this package is Copyright (c) 1994-1997 Andreas König Changes have been made by Michael Widenius and Frederik Ramm to the effect that nobody knows why certain things aren't working. Please see the "Changes" file for latest news. How to install: * perl Makefile.PL * make * make install I (Fred) have deleted the rest of this README, see the original MsqlPerl docs for more.
