Problems with MySQL on Win32.by jdtoronto (Prior) |

jdtoronto has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
Esteemed monks, Well, the problem isn't with MySQL, but it does seemt o be that there is some brain-deadedness about Windows and some other applications - specifically firewalls. I have a Win32 app written in Perl/Tk using MySQL. Naturally I use DBI and Class::DBI. But I am finding that many Windows boxes have things like Widows Firewall and Norton Internet security that dont know how to spell 'localhost'! They see any attempt to connect to a socket as an attempt by some insidious and/or nefarious application to call home and divulge all your secrets - thus even the MySQL command line client cannot connect to the running server on the same machine. Does anyone know of a DBI/Class::DBI friendly alternative to socket based connections?
