I've done the 'perl -MCPAN -e "install Bundle::CPAN"' which got the new Perl 5.6 ... everything seemed fine until I tried to "install Bundle::DBD::mysql" which resulted in tons of errors and unfindable libraries etc. The README says that this is a common problem. All I need to do is recompile Perl and MySQL with the same version of gcc so they both use the same library or something. How do I go about doing that? Do I need to retrieve special sources for the latest Perl and MySQL? Please help. I don't know how to get DBI running and I need it. TTFN & Shalom.
