Dear Nat and Chromatic,

Thanks so much for the help. When I go the extra step and "make install" I get a "permission denied" error as make tries to act on the ISP's central perl installation. Is there a parameter I can pass to get it to point to my own perl directory?

I also forgot to include the problem that got me working on installing the latest DBI in the first place. I need to install DBD:CSV, which requires version 1 or later of DBI. When I get DBI installed, how can I get the dependency check to pass. It seems that the Makefile.PL checks the ISP's DBI version rather than my local directory.

Again, thanks so much for all your help.

Sergej

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
