Hi. I'm not even going to pretend to be a Perl programmer (I used it years ago once.) However, I am trying to use CPAN to install a newer version of the DBI module, because the application I am trying to run needs a newer version than the one installed on the system (I have no admin privileges). >From inside the CPAN shell, I attempted 'install DBI', but eventual the build fails with:

If this is the problem, how do I change CPAN's default compiler? I am working on a SUSE Linux system with Perl 5.10. The CPAN shell version seems to be 1.9205.
