Fellow Monasterians,

Is there a way to find out what version of a module my script is running if there are more than two versions installed?

My web host has an ancient version of DBD::mysql, so I THINK I successfully installed the latest version in my private directory, but I'm sure. How can I tell which one is running? And is there a way to force it to use the one I installed an not the web hosts'?

#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w

print "Content-type: text/plain\n\n";
use lib "/usr/home/username/mylib/";
use strict;
use Data::Dumper;
use DBD::mysql;
use ExtUtils::Installed;

my $inst = ExtUtils::Installed->new();
my @modules = $inst->modules();
print Dumper(@modules);
    
my $version = $inst->version('DBD::mysql');
print Dumper ($version);

...turned up nothing really. Thanks!
