 2.13.2 Installing ActiveState Perl on Windows
 ---------------------------------------------
 
 On Windows, you should do the following to install the MySQL `DBD'
 module with ActiveState Perl:
 
   1. Get ActiveState Perl from
      `http://www.activestate.com/Products/ActivePerl/' and install it.
 
   2. Open a console window (`DOS window').
 
   3. If necessary, set the `HTTP_proxy' variable. For example, you
      might try a setting like this:
 
           set HTTP_proxy=my.proxy.com:3128
 
   4. Start the PPM program:
 
           C:\> C:\perl\bin\ppm.pl
 
   5. If you have not previously done so, install `DBI':
 
           ppm> install DBI
 
   6. If this succeeds, run the following command:
 
           install \
           ftp://ftp.de.uu.net/pub/CPAN/authors/id/JWIED/DBD-mysql-1.2212.x86.ppd
 
 This procedure should work with ActiveState Perl 5.6 or newer.
 
 If you cannot get the procedure to work, you should install the MyODBC
 driver instead and connect to the MySQL server through ODBC:
 
      use DBI;
      $dbh= DBI->connect("DBI:ODBC:$dsn",$user,$password) ||
        die "Got error $DBI::errstr when connecting to $dsn\n";
