Start by turning on strict and warnings. Are you sure that's the correct path to perl? mtfnpy	[reply]

Yep, I have those already. I also tried turning them off. I have more than one version of Perl. The other version does not give the same problem. There are no 'shared' libraries either.	[reply]

Sometimes there can be path issues when multiple Perl versions are installed. The @INC path may have some bogus stuff in it. Here is some simple code to dump @INC and %INC. Note the difference in how much stuff happens by including the use DBI; vs not. #!usr/bin/perl -w use strict; #use DBI; print join("\n",@INC),"\n\n"; foreach (keys %INC) { print "$_=>$INC{$_}\n"; } __END__ without use DBI; ---------------- C:/Perl/site/lib C:/Perl/lib .

You go talk to the folks at Fink and ask them how you go about suppressing the messages their Perl implementation throws at start-up. ---- I Go Back to Sleep, Now. OGB	[reply]

I installed the module using CPAN, rather than any package manager. So I guess it is not them.	[reply]
