Where did you install perl?

Does your environment variables are pointing to the new perl version?.

I had the same error and I fixed changing the usual path /usr/bin/perl to the new one /usr/local/bin/perl, just use the ln command

As long as I remember the newer versions of perl are installed under /usr/local but the DBI module is looking for /usr/bin/perl

Hope can help you

Hi all,

I've upgraded to Perl 5.8 from 5.6 and I'm getting output I don't understand 
when I try to install the DBI module.

I'm on Solaris 9 (Sparc) and I had Perl 5.0 and 5.6 installed as packages and I 
removed them with pkgrm. I then installed Perl 5.8 from ActiveState using 
ActivePerl-5.8.6.811-sun4-solaris.tar.gz.

Now I'm trying to install the DBI module and when I execute 'perl Makefile.PL' 
the output returned says:

        I see you're using perl 5.008006 on sun4-solaris, okay.

There's nothing in my environment that says perl 5.0. My question is two fold: 
Where is this Makefile.PL getting the Perl version from and how do I fix this?

Thanks in advance,
Paul
