 Perl support for MySQL is provided by means of the `DBI'/`DBD' client
 interface.  The interface requires Perl 5.6.1 or later. It _does not
 work_ if you have an older version of Perl.
 
 If you want to use transactions with Perl DBI, you need to have
 `DBD::mysql' version 1.2216 or newer.  `DBD::mysql' 2.9003 or newer is
 recommended.
 
 If you are using the MySQL 4.1 or newer client library, you must use
 `DBD::mysql' 2.9003 or newer.
 
 Perl support is not included with MySQL distributions. You can obtain
 the necessary modules from `http://search.cpan.org' for Unix, or by
 using the ActiveState `ppm' program on Windows. The following sections
 describe how to do this.
 
 Perl support for MySQL must be installed if you want to run the MySQL
 benchmark scripts. See  mysql-benchmarks.
