Thanks! I did some additional research and I believe the source of the problems above is a 64 bit MySQL database and 32 bit Perl - at least in the past I recall having to deinstall the 64 bit mysql program and install the 23 bit version for DBD to work. The fact that Perl 5.10 is supposed to support 64 bit now muddies those waters but, nevertheless, I did perform the 32 bit reinstall. I also was able to get DBD:mysql to compile properly. However, I am still getting errors when I run my script:

finhagens-macbook-pro:perl finhagen$ ./tme_ext_full.pl

I googled this error but I didn't find any references that explained how to fix this problem. Any suggestions?

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
