    How did you install DBI?

    And what's your code?

[reply]
      I don't know if it's any help but *if* you're embedding perl in a shred libray, and *if* that library is, in tern calling "use DBI", and *if* you're developing on a unix system... then that shared library, in addition to setting up DynaLoader xs_init stuff, needs to add this to xs_init: 
      #ifdef unix
    dlopen("libperl.so", RTLD_LAZY|RTLD_GLOBAL);
#endif

      or else it won't work.
