Journal Journal: why does installing perl modules on win32 suck?

If I want to use Perl + Apache2 on windows i have 2 choices - cygwin Perl + Apache (though I couldn't find apache 2 - I'm sure it's possible) OR ActiveState Perl + Windows version of Apache 2. I also want to use mysql. Nothing really technically difficult. Everything is pretty much point and click.

Journal Journal: Cygwin - Perl DBI - Windows installed Mysql

just got cygwin perl to view the database. This means any unix machine on my network can now read mysql and process the results.
heres the code. The kicker is it's (reported *) hard to get cygwin Perl DBI to talk to mysql on windows - used a pure perl driver (#) :) You could ask the question why on windows. I have to be able to do this cross platform so there is no choice. I know I can do this on *inux.

steps I've tried include ...
