After installing perlbrew and perl 5.16.3 into my home directory on a CentOS 6 system, I used cpanm to try and install DBD::mysql.

It failed thusly:

Sorry, that's a mess to read.

I tried previously to install with --force, but then got segfaults using DBD::mysql. Can anybody help?

Thanks..

UPDATE The file /mxhome/charrison/.cpanm/work/1460642897.9426/DBD-mysql-4.033/blib/arch/auto/DBD/mysql/mysql.so does exist.
