Latest versions of DBI are here at CPAN (we use v 0.93)
Latest versions of Msql-Mysql-Modules are here at CPAN also (we use v 1.1825)

As for now, we don't support mSQL v2.0, because there is no 'official' port to Win32. There are some unofficial ports, so when the 'official' one will appear - let us know, and we may add the support in a few days. The port we consider to be 'official' is mSQL v1.0.16b for Win32 available at http://blnet.com/msqlpc/peter/msql116c.htm .

We use this one - it seems to work without problems.

Read this to understand the mSQL-for-Windoze porting status. Actually, you should read this before installing mSQL v 1.0.16b, it points to a workaround of 'missing directories' problem.

Now:

• Download and install mSQL for Win32 v1.0.16b
• Test it. Be sure it passes tests.
• Download and install Cygwin 'Usertool' and YeP-perl core distribution.
• Download DBI v 0.93 & Msql-Modules v1.1825 perl extensions we have build for you. Simply unpack the archive and copy the whole tree to your /qub directory, that contains YeP-perl Core distribution. We plan to use this plug-and-play style when distributing YeP-perl extensions.

You may test the package with

cd /qub/t/t.mSQL
runtests.bat

If something goes wrong, please check:

• Have you /etc/ directory with passwd file there? It'll be better to have it anyway - some Cygnus tools assume that you have that /etc/passwd prepared with the help of
mkpasswd -l
• Does msql.acl allow access for everybody? If no - try to grant access to everybody.

Not tested with Windows 95. Have no Win95 computers at hand. Wanna become YeP-perl-for-Win95 tester?
