Re: Using Perlbrew with debian Perl packages like libdbd-mysql

Solved, with some more diligent googling:
1) I found this: http://adam.sardar.me.uk/?p=693
2) Basically it says to: Install the package ‘libmysqlclient-dev’ through aptitude.
3) However, that package name is no longer around.
4) I got the new package name and did: sudo apt-get install default-libmysqlclient-dev
5) cpanm DBD::mysql now works
Unfortunately, I have no idea why or how it works.

"Unfortunately, I have no idea why or how it works"
If you'd taken more than a glance at the documentation I linked to:
"Also you'll need to get the MySQL client and development headers on your system. The easiest is to get these from your package manager...."

Yeah, well, without being told explicitly which package they are in, I have no clue how or where to get them. The debian packaging system is a large black box to me. I have only vague notions of how it works despite doing some reading on it. I barely know what a header is from the C book I picked up 20 blue moons ago. It kind of makes things a lot harder to figure out. And then I'm left wondering why I need a damn "client" when I'm trying to set up a "server." And I have no idea what "development" headers are. It's confusing as hell.
RTFM is all well and good. But when you start mixing and matching technologies and run into edge cases, the manual has limitations unless you have an advanced understanding of what's going on under the hood, which I admittedly do not. Yeah, sure, I could spend a day or two going through in great deal to learn more about the intricacies of the debian packaging system and how it all works, but right now I'm trying to focus on more immediate concerns and learn another technology I'm trying to learn.

"... I get configuration errors..."
What errors do you get? See also. Best regards, Karl

apt-file can be a great help for such things. I often get errors about missing .h files and don't know which package they are in, but usually I find them with apt-file.
% apt-file search mysql_config
It also takes regular expressions.
