Re: (Fwd) DBI

You've installed DBI into one location:
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6/i686-linux/auto/DBI/
Your system is failing to find it in another:
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/i386-linux-thread-multi/DBI.pm
You need to work out why these are different.

Most likely (in my view) you have at least two versions of Perl on the
system and are using different versions at different times.
Alternatively, you've upgraded from 5.8.5 to 5.8.6 and not recompiled
everything.
Or you've got too many bits and pieces in your @INC or something similar.
