this may be silly, but here's my issue:
I need the module 'GDBM_File' for a script somebody wrote. Hwever, the script doews not find the module. This module is supposed come with Perl-5-8-6 (I have that installed). Any attempt to get said module results in attempting to download perl all over again.

I wonder if there is a way to use the source posted in CPAN?? I can't seem to find any docs on how to install the module from source.

Any help would be appreciated.

Update:
I found the module. I upgraded my perl from the ports collection. Now I'm looking into putting this path in the right place to let perl find it!

peek# find . -name GDBM_File.pm -print
