Thanks all for your replies. My problem came from installing RT. After testdeps, I found a lot of missing modules. Then I tried to run fixdeps and I still got a lot of missing modules as showed below. I tried to install one by one with CPAN. I tried your instruction and I got Apache::DBI installed. However, for other missing modules, I got no luck!

They have to fetch all of the modules to make it work? I am new to Perl. I think it is a good module to get people involved to build module. However, I tried many times mannually. It is hard to get all the module installed for a system like RT. Did you guys try RT before? Another issue is that I noticed there is version number behind some of the modules. If the old modules didn't exist, can the new module garantee the functionalities of the old ones and didn't break the system and cause regression problems?
