I don't think it has anything to do with it being 5.8.8 as I'm using that version and it works fine. I think the DBD-mysql package has changed names to something else, though the activestate site still has DBD-mysql listed so /shrug. I don't recall off the top of my head, but I think if you search on DBD you might find it here in the forums. I thought that the IO-stringy package was included in the distribution of perl now, but maybe that's not the case. You can do a package search for stringy and probably find whatever its package name is for activeperl, though it is listed as IO-stringy. You using the ppm to install them? If so can you install ANYTHING via the ppm? Could be that you aren't talking to the repository.
