Subject: Re: DBI doesn't seem to install correctly on CentOS

I'm not sure if you need this or not because I'm just getting into  
using DBI myself, but did you install the mysql drivers?  In the  
README file, it mentioned that the Mysql DBD relied upon them.  To  
quote:

MySQL
    Depends on the mysql package from http://www.tmtm.org/mysql or  
available
    from the RAA.
