Well, I just tried to install the latest DBI on a MacOSX machine using the following:
sudo perl -MCPAN -e shell cpan> install DBI It went without a flaw and passed all of its tests. The test system is running MacOSX 10.1.4 on a G4 Cube. The development tools are reasonably up to date and I've never tweaked the perl installation there (other than some other CPAN modules), so it should be in the default install location. Is it possible that your development tools need to be updated? That's a separate step from the regular system upgrades, I think.
