Don't do that. You need libraries for MySQL. Build them from the MySQL source, using: ./configure --without-server Of course, you will have to get the native Windows server if you want to run the server locally. A caveat: MySQL for Windows uses named pipes to talk to local clients, whereas the MySQL library you compile will want to use UNIX sockets. I found the easiest way to get them talking was to always use a host of 127.0.0.1, forcing INET sockets. Under perl DBI, if you use "localhost," somebody decides to be smart and use UNIX sockets anyway. An additional caveat: There is probably a better way to do the above.
