I wanted to build an awesome place for people to discuss module specific issues, but I don't have any more time for this, and there are much better places to discuss Perl-related issues. I'd recommend asking your question on Stack Overflow or on Perl Monks.
If you are looking for a Perl tutorial or Perl-related news, I hope these links will serve you well.

DBI Installation Problems
Hi, i have unset my LANG (unset LANG) but the build program doesn't seem to complete on "install DBI" my perl -v is: bash-3.2# perl -v This is perl, v5.8.8 built for darwin-thread-multi-2level (with 4 registered patches, see perl -V for more detail) Copyright 1987-2006, Larry Wall Perl may be copied only under the terms of either the Artistic License or the GNU General Public License, which may be found in the Perl 5 source kit. Complete documentation for Perl, including FAQ lists, should be found on this system using "man perl" or "perldoc perl". If you have access to the Internet, point your browser at http://www.perl.org/, the Perl Home Page. ------------------------- The feedback i get from the command "install DBI" is:

Looks good I see you're using perl 5.008008 on darwin-thread-multi-2level, okay. Remember to actually *read* the README file! Use 'make' to build the software (dmake or nmake on Windows). Then 'make test' to execute self tests. Then 'make install' to install the DBI and then delete this working directory before unpacking and building any DBD::* drivers. Writing Makefile for DBI -- NOT OK Running make test Can't test without successful make Running make install make had returned bad status, install seems impossible
