Hi Tim,
I totally understand the "rebuild perl" approach, you mentioned in that I know what you mean and how to go about it; but I'm fairly new to Perl too and that seems like a big undertaking for 1 module, 1, because I'm new to perl and building environments in general and 2. does it not run the risk of ending up with everything having to be built custom? Which I would think is something to avoid because then you have to rebuild everything custom on every environment in the same way etc etc. Hope that question makes sense.

You should build perl extensions with the same compiler and platform that was used to build the perl executable itself. Build and install a new perl, then use that perl to build DBI etc. Tim.
