I do not have DBI and cpan refuses to work without DBI.

I think I got me into this problem when I told the cpan program that it could use SQLite during the setup after upgrading to perl 5.12. I tried to install DBI with my old perl and include the path to that one but the path was not included in @INC like I thought it would and I am out of ideas.

$ sudo perl -I/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.1/i686-linux/ -MCPAN
+ -e shell

cpan shell -- CPAN exploration and modules installation (v1.9456)
Enter 'h' for help.

Can't ioctl TIOCGETP: Invalid argument                                
+          
Consider installing Term::ReadKey from CPAN site nearby
        at http://www.perl.com/CPAN
Or use
        perl -MCPAN -e shell
to reach CPAN. Falling back to 'stty'.
        If you do not want to see this warning, set PERL_READLINE_NOWA

in your environment.

How do I fix this?
