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.

How can I install DBI on Fedora 8 ?

When I install MySQL, I got the following message:
[root@localhost ~]# rpm -ivh MySQL-server-5.0.51a-0.glibc23.i386.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
perl(DBI) is needed by MySQL-server-5.0.51a-0.glibc23.i386
[root@localhost ~]#

When I install DBI using perl Makefile.PL, I got the following message at the end:
Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good
Warning: prerequisite Test::Simple 0.4 not found.
I see you're using perl 5.008008 on i386-linux-thread-multi, 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

And I still can't install MySQL. The error message I got is the same as before.

How can I install DBI and MySQL on Fedora 8 ?

Thanks a lot.
