Description:
http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/DBI_with_DBD.html recommends outdated version.

The http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Perl_DBI_Class.html page is outdated.

How to repeat:
Visit http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/DBI_with_DBD.html and http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Perl_DBI_Class.html 

Suggested fix:
http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/DBI_with_DBD.html:

 - Updated recommended DBD::mysql version to 2.9003 as 2.9002 and 2.9003 fix some important bugs.

 - Remove the user comment (re dbi.perl.org) on that page.

http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Perl_DBI_Class.html page
 - Needs an overall update to add new mysql specific attributes etc.
 - Or perhaps remove it and these links to the DBI_with_DBD.html page:
  http://search.cpan.org/dist/DBI/DBI.pm
  http://search.cpan.org/dist/DBD-mysql/lib/DBD/mysql.pm
  Those links will always show the latest documentation.

Thank you for your bug report. This issue has been addressed in the
documentation. The updated documentation will appear on our website
shortly, and will be included in the next release of the relevant
product(s).

Additional info:

Fixed by nuking our increasingly-out-of-date
information and replacing with pointers to external
references, such as the DBI web site and Tim's
book.
