Just a standard module install will get the job done. If you would like, you can set the environment variables MP_DBUSER, MP_DBPASS, MP_DBDS, and MP_DBOPTS to allow the test scripts to connect to a real database. MP_DBUSER -> A real database user name MP_DBPASS -> The database user's password MP_DBDS -> A DBI data source, for instance "dbi:mysql:test" MP_DBOPTS -> Any DBI connection options, for instance "RaiseError => 1, PrintError => 1" Environment variables are not, these are the commands to install: perl Makefile.PL make make test make install
