An error occurred while linking the DBD::mysql driver. The error
message seems to indicate that you don't have a lib$missing.a,
or a lib$missing.so. This is typically resolved by:
1.) You may try to remove the -lz or -lgz flag from the libs list
by using the --libs switch for "perl Makefile.PL".
2.) On Red Hat Linux install libz-devel
3.) On other systems, please contact the mailing list
Msql-Mysql-modules\@lists.mysql.com
For further hints, see INSTALL.html, section Linker flags.
