Maybe you can help ;-) I'm having bad problems being that I am a
newbie...Put it this way - we have a SysAdmin that is CCNA/CCDA/CCNP
certified, but he wants me to learn how to do this on my own....Here's what
I need:

Someone on the dbi-users list yesterday told me to use CPAN and first
install Bundle:CPAN.....which I did....now I have 2 versions of Perl
running??? Perl 5 and Perl 5.6.1....If I had know it would do this, I
wouldn't have install it...our original Perl should be running out of
/usr/bin/perl (which it is)....but now the new version is running in
/usr/local/bin/perl....

In order to run CPAN, I had to be the root superuser (which probably messed
up my permissions also)

First Question - How do I move the 5.6 version into /usr/bin/perl or just
get rid of it completely and keep the one we had running!?!?

Once I did that, they told me to install bundle:DBI...As far as I know this
went smoothly, unless the permissions are messed up...

After that and where I am stuck now is trying to install DBD::Pg and being
that I have to be root, it won't let me....

Second Question - How do I get rid of all this stuff and start from scratch
with someone walking me through the process? All I need is DBD and DBI::Pg
installed...I don't need the CPAN stuff (although it does make it easier,
except for being different users which I don't know how to do)

So many people offering different methods of doing this is stressful and
hectic....
