OK background:

FreeBSD 4.4
Comes with 5.00503, using CPAN I upgraded to 5.6.1 BUT I wanted it in /usr/local/ not /usr/ so now I have both.
So I edited /etc/profiles and now when I do:
which perl
I get:
/usr/local/bin/perl as expected.

OK so far so good.
I want to use a MySQL web interface I downloaded called MySQLMan. I chose it over phpMyAdmin to avoid all the php stuff. Great.

Here's the error:

Error loading required libraries

Reason: Can't locate DBD/mysql.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/libdata/perl/5.00503/mach /usr/libdata/perl/5.00503 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/i386-freebsd /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005 .) at /usr/local/www/cgi-bin/mysql.cgi line 3146

So it appears that all is _not_ well with my Perl install(s) as this MySQLMan seems to be looking in the wrong place for my modules.
So am I (a) looking t this all wrong -- (b)foolish to have an old an a new Perl (I'd like to get rid of the 5.00503 but I don't know how... where is that dang Unwise.exe:)?) -- (c) completely insane?

There's more than one way to do it, just don't use my way.
