Hey,
I had to update Perl from 5.8 to 5.14 in order to run the Date::Manip pm (which works fine) however in doing so, perl lost the ability to talk to mysql.


I installed DBD::mysql without apparent issue...however when I try to open the database I get ...

Can't locate DBD/Mysql.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.14.0/x86_64-linux /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.14.0 /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.14.0/x86_64-linux /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.14.0 .) at ./perltest.pl line 3. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at ./perltest.pl line 3.

If I use MCPAN to try and re-run the DBD::mysql install, I get ...

cpan11> install DBD::mysql
DBD::mysql is up to date (4.019).

I've tried using "use Mysql;" and "use DBD::mysql" in the script and both returm the appropriate "Cannot find in @INC" error.

When I try to unstall "install mysql" via CPAN I get a ...

Help :D
