101920 - checksetup.pl appears not to work in 2.14 on win 2k

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 100259

(Bugzilla :: Installation & Upgrading, defect)

Description

[bensonh]

I went through the install procedure for a fresh installation of Bugzilla on 
windows 2000 (i.e. mysql, perl etc) and when it came to running checksetup.pl I 
got the output below

D:\BugzillaStuff\bugzilla-2.14>checksetup.pl

        line 251 (#1)
    (W uninitialized) An undefined value was used as if it were already
    defined.  It was interpreted as a "" or a 0, but maybe it was a mistake.
    To suppress this warning assign a defined value to your variables.

    To help you figure out what was undefined, perl tells you what operation
    you used the undefined value in.  Note, however, that perl optimizes your
    program and the operation displayed in the warning may not necessarily
    appear literally in your program.  For example, "that $foo" is
    usually optimized into "that " . $foo, and the warning will refer to
    the concatenation (.) operator, even though there is no . in your
    program.

Uncaught exception from user code:
        Invalid DBI handle  at D:/Perl/site/lib/DBD/mysql.pm line 251.

After trying to work it out, thinking it must be a windows thing, I then tried 
the 2.12 version.  This worked fine (i.e. mysql etc works). Then I reran the 
2.14 script and it now appears to have worked, but I *think* this points to a 
bug in the 2.14 somewhere...

This is a dup of 98494 and is a bug in the activestate dist  of DBD::Mysql. 
Please see the comments in that bug for contact information with ways 
that you can contact the mantainers and ask them to fix this.

Thanks for using Bugzilla and reporting bugs.
