I am working on a project where I need to write a script to install the DBI and DBD:mysql modules on Macintosh OS X systems. The problem is that I have not found any decent documentation as to where these CPAN modules should be placed on OS X. Can somebody give me guidance as to where these modules should be placed. I tried searching for a folder named DBD after the installlation, but there are many DBD folders: /Library/Perl/darwin/DBI/DBD/ /Library/Perl/darwin/auto/DBD/ /Library/Perl/darwin/Bundle/DBD /Library/Perl/DBD/ /Library.Perl/darwin/DBD/ Thank You, jeff
