Changing @INC would work, but to save yourself hassle later and possibly to avoid further problems you might consider upgrading/re-installing DBI, and DBD-mysql through CPAN as well, as that should fix the problems and keep your CPAN installation contiguous, aka you upgraded Perl through CPAN so you should upgrade all your modules in the same manner.
install Mysql should do this, as Mysql will check for DBI as a dependency and get it at the same time. Make sure to invoke CPAN with Perl 5.8.0 executable rather than the previous one. http://danconia.org Nik wrote: > Hello Everyone, > > We are attempting to use a Perl script to access MySQL on Red Hat Linux > release 7.2 (Enigma) Kernel 2.4.7-10 on an i686 > Unfortunately, the below error keeps appearing: > > ------------------------- > install_driver(mysql) failed: Can't locate loadable object for module > DBD::mysql in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5/5.6.0/i386-linux > /usr/lib/perl5/5.6.0 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/i386-linux > /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl .) at (eval 1) > line 3 > Compilation failed in require at (eval 1) line 3. > Perhaps a module that DBD::mysql requires hasn't been fully installed > at ./mysqltest1 line 7 > --------------------------- > > We have installed: > > mysql-3.23.49-3.i386.rpm > mysql-server-3.23.49-3.i386.rpm > mysql-devel-3.23.49-3.i386.rpm > > Msql-Mysql-modules-1.2219 > DBI-1.30 > DBD-mysql-2.1018 > > All have tested fine.
