After a big server glitch, we had to do an OS reload. I've been tossing my software on, and most pieces of the puzzle are there now.

When going to run the popular mysql_backup.cgi script, I noticed some of the perl modules were missing.

e.g. I had to install DBD::mysql

It fails miserably through CPAN..."Failed 20/22 test scripts, 9.09% okay. 428/434 subtests failed, 1.38% okay." and totally gets the wrong socket. I tried doing it from source and make test continues to fail.

I ran the script for two years prior to the crash, so obviously we had DBD::mysql running okay then.

Any install tips for this module? Further info you need from me?
