# tar -x -v -z -f DBI-1.53.tar.gz # cd DBI-1.53 #### QUICK START GUIDE: The DBI requires one or more 'driver' modules to talk to databases, but they are not needed to build or install the DBI. Check that a DBD::* module exists for the database you wish to use. Read the DBI README then Build/test/install the DBI by doing perl Makefile.PL make make test make install Then delete the source directory tree since it's no longer needed. Use the 'perldoc DBI' command to read the DBI documentation. See GETTING HELP section in DBI.pm for how to get help.
