Hi there

I may be showing my ignorance a little here and this may not be the best place to ask, given that it's also a Linux question, but I am practising setting up a CentOS server to run a Catalyst app on and am trying to keep the Perl installations separate (as specified in Perlbrew issues. Suggest a way out.).

I've been doing okay with it, but am having issues installing DBD::mysql because you can't (as far as I can tell) do it via CPAN. The documentation says to:

Use the following command to install DBD::mysql:

yum install "perl(DBD::mysql)"

However, this command installs the module for the system Perl and not the separate installation I plan on using.

Does anyone know of a way to modify the above command to install DBD::mysql for the non-system Perl please?

I'm very much a novice to Linux, just running CentOS in VirtualBox to practice.

Thank you in advance

Chris
