in reply to Trouble installing Apache::DBI

Have you tried installing it by hand and reading the INSTALL or README files? Maybe there's some command-line options you need to set. Remember, the CPAN module uses the defaults, which aren't always usable on a given system. This is especially true for database-type modules. Those, I always install by hand.

I shouldn't have to say this, but any code, unless otherwise stated, is untested

    Ok. I've manually installed software from tarball before. Never a perl module. Looks like it installed just fine from scratch. I simply became too dependant on CPAN installing it for me :-)

    Apache now starts up without complaint.

    Thanks for the tip!!
