Hi all,

I am trying to install some perl modules as a user without root priveliges. I created my own perl directory and associated .cpan/CPAN directories etc. I used CPAN to install DBI and DBD::SQLite. However, when I run my script that requires DBI, I get the following error. 

Can't load '/g/typas/Alison/bin/myperl/lib/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/a
+uto/DBI/DBI.so' for module DBI: /g/typas/Alison/bin/myperl/lib/x86_64

there are a few different versions of perl installed on my system, maybe there is some mismatch?
