Bad Jody! Bad!





I have just installed various programs on a server
that require the DBI DBD::mysql modules, I have
installed them using CPAN, unfortunatly CPAN put

them

in a directory that is not on the @INC list (I

assume

thats how perl finds its modules).


Indeed, print it to see what's in it.

the DBD::mysql, DBI has been installed in
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/i686-linux


(on which box?)


I don't need to use any other modules apart from
DBD::mysql, DBI 


Apart from the ones that DBD::mysql needs.


Any help would be mush appreciated

Why should CPAN do a silly thing like that?


Cos it was not configured properly when it was
installed. Was it
installed on or copied on?

I suggest installing/configuring CPAN properly.


How do you reconfigure it is here a standard command.
I run it in shell mode (perl -MCPAN -e shell)

many thanks

Jody
