I would imagine that DBI and DBD::mysql are existing CentOS packages, unless CentOS requires its users to use cpan(1), in which case I would recommend you do more research. A quick google search turns up an old (April 2002) Usenet posting regarding this error, which was fixed in a later version of DBD::mysql[1]. Therefore, your issue would most likely be solved by getting a modern version of DBD::mysql. Where did you get 2.1012 from, anyways? You should be using the cpan shell, or at least the CPAN module. cpan> install DBI cpan> install DBD::mysql cpan> r # optionally upgrade old packages The error you received when attempting installation of DBD::mysql would indicated that DBI was not installed, or was not installed to the proper location. If that was the case, make sure you're using the right perl and that it's looking in the right location for modules (perl -V) For future reference, it is considered good etiquette to seek support through the appropriate channels. This is not really an IC issue, and I would first try either your vendor (CentOS) or the package maintainer(s) (DBD ML).
