Hi all,

I have a problem interfacing Mysql with perl.  I used
red Hat linux 7.0 as the OS and it comes with perl
built in (perl-5.6.0-9).  I installed MySQL server and
client downloaded from its web site (www.mysql.org),
the versions are: MySQL-3.23.44-1 and
MySQL-client-3.23.43-1.
I also installed modules that I think will be required
for interfacing mysql and perl ie. the DBI and DBD. 
They are:  Mysql-DBI-perl-bin-1.1825-1 and
DBI-perl-bin-0.93-1
Independently I can verify that Mysql and perl works. 
I can create tables and run quiries on Mysql, and I
can run perl scripts successfully.  However when I try
the following simple perl script:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use DBI;
@driver_names= DBI->available_drivers();
print "the drivers are : @driver_names";

I get the following error:
'Can't locate object method "available_drivers" via
package "DBI" at ./test line 3'

When I run a script with @dbh=DBI->connect(.....)
I also get smilar error of 'Can't locate object method
"connect" via package "DBI"....'
Do I miss something ? Have I installed DBI correctly ?
How do I test the DBI ? Please help...
