I am not much of an expert on this, but I thought I would pass along a few
hints from the list which were helpful to me in testing and installing DBI.
I got some very timely help from this list - for which I am very grateful
1.Specify the path where you want to install DBI - this should be the same
path where your other perl modules reside, which may or may not be the
default used in the installation.
>perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=~/whereYouWantItToGo
You'll also want to make sure that your installation does in fact have the
Time/HiRes.pm module somewhere....
2. You may need to specify where your modules are located, so that Makefile
can find them - the way I did it was to insert the 'use lib' directive
directly into the Makefile - Iknow that youare not suposed to do this, but
sometimes practicality has a way of interfering with elegance.
use lib('~/whereTheModulesAre');
This prepends the specified path to @INC.
t/40profile.........Can't locate Time/HiRes.pm in @INC (@INC contains:
