Perl guru, anyone?

I've got an iptables log analysis tool but I can't seem to get the database feeder script to work. I have ActivePerl 5.8.4 and all the required modules loaded. I just get errors about variables etc.
Is there a Perl guru around that could take a look at it. I'm trying to run it on a win2000 machine.

I've also tried running the script in ASL but there are module dependencies that I'm not sure how to solve.

Hi Jim,
What database? MySQL? MSSQL?

No guarantees, but I can take a look at it.
email me at bozo123 a t pennysaverusa dotnet

BTW, let me know how the inline snort-acid stuff is going too.

I even tried cygwin. What a miserable failure. I can't get ANYTHING to compile in that piece of trash.
I can't install DBD-MySQL without installing the MySQL clent first. Oh, but guess what? MySQL doesn't install on cygwin, so you have to compile it yourself. Again, another failure with another PILE of errors that I can't seem to find on the internet.
This script had better work in Perl on Windows or I'm gonna scream.

Anyone have Perl DBI + DBD-MySQL compiled for ASL 5.x?

Or know how to compile them?

I have systems with RH7.3, RHEL3 and Fedora Core 2 at my disposal. Any of these good matches for ASL5's libraries?

Thanks,
Barry

Well, I've decided to switch my MySQL server/ACID web server to Linux. I'll be downloading Fedora Core 3 when it's available. I've already downloaded FC2 and have RH9. Is there some issue with using these?

Also, is there a how-to somewhere to statically compile a MySQL client binary?

I don't think there's any issue with FC2 or RH9, but FC2 is much newer. There's no updates for RH9 anymore.

I don't know what Astaro is using for development of ASL5.

You can download static binaries from mysql.com, they have Linux binaries in both static and dynamic versions.

I'm not sure about the perl DBI libraries though.

Well, the perl stuff would be running on my MySQL server. I'd set up syslogd to receive the remote syslogs from ASL and have logsnorter, etc run on them there.
The MySQL static binary would be for ASL in my development of the snort_mysql package to improve the MySQL db detection and connection maintenance. It would help me build a more stable and self correcting implementation.

Well then the static-compiled MySQL downloads should work.
They are on the same pages as the other downloads on MySQL.com, at least for 4.1, and I believe all the versions.

Let me know if it doesn't work.
