I am currently trying to get MySQL working in a Perl script. I have included the DBI library, and I use the code below. When I run the script, I recieve the following error. Any help would be appreciated.

$DB="DBI:mysql:<MY DATABASE>:localhost";

$dbh = DBI->connect($DB,"<MY USERNAME>","<MY PASSWORD>");

Perhaps the DBD::mysql perl module hasn't been fully installed,
or perhaps the capitalisation of 'mysql' isn't right.
Available drivers: ADO, ExampleP, Multiplex, Proxy.

Submit a TT and ask for DBD\mysql.pm to be installed.
