B Contributed programs

Many users of MySQL have contributed very useful support tools and addons.

A list of what is available at http://www.mysql.com/Contrib (or any mirror) is shown below. If you want to build MySQL support for the Perl DBI/DBD interface, you should fetch the Data-Dumper, DBI, and Msql-Mysql-modules files and install them. See section 4.10 Perl installation comments.
