1. When doing perl -MCPAN -e "install 'DBI'" -- I'm getting msg 'can't
locate object method data via package CPAN::Modulelist
What can I do to solve this mystery? Am I suppose to first download my
modules into some directory and then things will work??
2. Here is my environment:

1. Yes, you need a c++ compiler if you are going to use the tarball.
2. It has to be the same compiler that was used to make your perl
executable. See the output of "perl -V". Then talk to your sysadmin about
getting the compiler you need installed.
3. Be patient. Most of the people on this list are at least as busy as you
are. Repeating the same question on this list is like teaching a dog to
dance. It doesn't work and it annoys the dog.
