in reply to How to check DBI module version from CPAN and how to upgrade the same from CPAN
G'day bhushanQA,
To find out what version you're currently using:
$ perl -le 'use DBI; print $DBI::VERSION' 1.633
To find out what versions are currently available on CPAN, use http://search.cpan.org/ and enter DBI.
Upgrading on Linux is not really in my sphere of expertise. It will depend on which Linux you're using: the command may be yum, apt-get or possibly others — I'm sure other monks will provide a much better answer for this particular task.
If you're using your own (i.e. non-system) Perl, the cpan utility is provided with the core distribution. See its documentation for usage.
Another popular utility for installing CPAN modules is cpanm. I don't use this, so I won't comment further — again, other monks may provide more information about it.
