I get the following error in the Makefile.PL run for the DBI versions

Well, this is not an error - it says "Warning". However, just like
there is a module DBI at version 1.54, there is also a module
file::Spec that needs to be at version 1.00 or greater, and your
version of it is 0.86.

So - go get it from CPAN and install it. (And I suggest you get a
newer Perl while you're at it, but that is not mandatory.)

Actually I don't think the DBI needs to require version 1 of File::Spec.
I've changed the next release to not require a minimum version of
File::Spec.

Eric, if you've not upgraded File::Spec yet then I'd appreciate it if
you'd try using the 0.86 version you already have.

Just delete the
"File::Spec" => 1
line in Makefile.PL

Thanks.

Tim.
