PLEASE NOTE: 
 
For 'make test' to run properly, you must ensure that the 
database user '' can connect to your MySQL server 
and has the proper privileges that these tests require such 
as 'drop table', 'create table', 'drop procedure', 'create procedure' 
as well as others. 
 
mysql> grant all privileges on test.* to ''@'localhost' identified by 's3kr1t'; 
 
You can also optionally set the user to run 'make test' with: 
 
perl Makefile.pl --testuser=username 
 
Failed to determine directory of mysql.h. Use 
 
  perl Makefile.PL --cflags=-I<dir> 
 
to set this directory. For details see the INSTALL.html file, 
section "C Compiler flags" or type 
 
  perl Makefile.PL --help

Running make test

Code
 
Then, tried using perl Makefile.PL in the folder where i save the DBD::mysql source. The result is almost the same message as the previous command. 
 
Finally, i found out about ppm install DBD-mysql.  
I type the following command in the command line: 
C:\Perl\bin>perl -w ppm-shell 
ppm>install DBD-mysql 
Result : ppm install failed: Can't find any package that provides DBD-mysql 
 
I even tried : 
ppm> rep add PPM2 http://ppm.activestate.com/PPMPackages/5.6plus/ 
ppm>install DBD-mysql 
But it is still the same. 
 
I am really confused.  
 
Could anyone explained to me how to install/use this module? is there any other alternative i can use to connect to the mysql database? 
 
Oh FYI, i ve already set the http_proxy and ftp_proxy. i use ActivePerl-5.10.0.1003-MSWin32-x86-285500. i am using windows xp. my database is in another machine (not in my localhost) and has username and password. 
 
Any help would be very very very appreciated. If there is some more information i have to provide, just tell me. 
 
Thanks a lot.

You're using Microsoft Visual C++ compiler or similar but 
the LIB and INCLUDE environment variables are not both set. 
 
You need to run the VCVARS32.BAT batch file that was supplied 
with the compiler before you can use it. 
 
A copy of vcvars32.bat can typically be found in the following 
directories under your Visual Studio install directory: 
    Visual C++ 6.0:     vc98\bin 
    Visual Studio .NET: vc7\bin 
 
Find it, run it, then retry this. 
 
If you think this error is not correct then just set the LIB and 
INCLUDE environment variables to some value to disable the check.
