I am at a loss on this. I've reinstalled Perl (compiled from source using gcc instead of Sun's compiler). Mysql was compiled with gcc as well. Perl is version 5.6.1 and Mysql is version 3.23.39. DBI installed fine but DBD::MySQL spits out the following error during make test: 
t/50chopblanks......ok

Is it safe to install? or will the module fail miserably? Any ideas would be appreciated greatly.
