Even then, I had to make a couple cursory changes to shp2mysql.pl to get it
to work with Geo::Shapelib on my system (Debian 3.0 'sarge' on x86).

Specifically:
use Shape qw/:all/;
becomes
Use Geo::Shapelib qw/:all/;

and
$shape = new Shape $ARGV[0];
becomes
$shape = new Geo::Shapelib $ARGV[0];

After I did that, all was well.

Cheers!
