 2.13 Perl Installation Notes
 ============================
 
 Perl support for MySQL is provided by means of the `DBI'/`DBD' client
 interface. The interface requires Perl Version 5.6.0 or later.  It
 _will not work_ if you have an older version of Perl.
 
 If you want to use transactions with Perl DBI, you need to have
 `DBD::mysql' version 1.2216 or newer. Version 2.9003 or newer is
 recommended.
 
 If you are using the MySQL 4.1 client library, you must use
 `DBD::mysql' 2.9003 or newer.
 
 As of MySQL 3.22.8, Perl support is no longer included with MySQL
 distributions. You can obtain the necessary modules from
 `http://search.cpan.org' for Unix, or by using the ActiveState `ppm'
 program on Windows. The following sections describe how to do this.
 
 Perl support for MySQL must be installed if you want to run the MySQL
 benchmark scripts.   MySQL Benchmarks.
