help8:  Two questions on error 2 from make test on DBI-1.21 installation
attempt.
Q1:  Is error 2 fatal; i.e., can it be ignored? If not fatal, Q2...
Q2:  At this point, ~/perl5/perlmod/DBI-1.21/DBI.pm file was produced. Is
DBI.pm the only product of this installation that I need? Can all the other
stuff be purged?

I would be doing this with MCPAN, but what I've found on using MCPAN says
that you must have root access; I don't. (Q3. Is there, perhaps, some way to
use MCPAN w/o root access?)
Thanks, Ed (Apache, linux, no root access)
