Well after having cpan run and then going back and investigating what 
went wrong, you can change something. But mysql_config is already 
installed in /usr/bin by SuSE so that's not really something that should 
be edited by a user. There should be something elsewhere in a 
user-alterable part of the file system, which is why I bodged it by 
editing mysql.mtest.

But my main issue is that none of this should be necessary. It should 
just install automatically using the default mysql anonymous accounts. 
Why is that not working?

Thanks and regards,
Dave
