That seems like a very odd error. One thing I do notice is that you are including "DBI" in the path to 'use lib'. This would have to mean that the DBI module lives in "$ENV{HOME}/modules/DBI/DBI.pm". Is that the case? Or should your use lib line just be "$ENV{HOME}/modules"??
HTH,
http://danconia.org
you're right; upon further reading (i'm still researching) i
discovered that discrepancy and removed the "/DBI"


I don't understand this.

If the problem was that use lib pointed to the wrong directory, then

    use DBI;

would fail and the compilation would be aborted with

    Can't locate DBI.pm in @INC (@INC contains: ...

If you forgot to use DBI then the message would be:

    Can't locate object method "connect" via package "DBI"
    (perhaps you forgot to load "DBI"?)

But I can't reproduce the error message you sent. Anyone?
