Description:
DBD::mysql will not install because make reports errors in the Makefile generated by the installation step "perl Makefile.PL".  I have tried to install DBI/DBD several different ways, including (1) the method recommended in the documentation; (2) downloading DBI-1.42 and DBD::mysql-2.9003 directly; and (3) running the Perl driver bundle Bundle::DBD::mysql (which uses version 2.9002) using "perl -MCPAN -e 'install Bundle::DBD::mysql'".  In every case, the Makefile has has the following problem:
   Makefile:89: *** missing separator.  Stop.

I would appreciate a hint about what I should try next.  Thanks.

How to repeat:
I suppose to repeat it you can run try to install DBI/DBD.

This is the generated Makefile make is complaining about (e.g., line 89)

Attachment: Makefile (application/octet-stream, text), 26.04 KiB.

It installs fine on my linux system.

Please show the exact commands you used, and post the offending Makefile which is created.  Also, please show what version of make you are using.
