Did you remove the old Perl befor installing 5.8.0? Have you tried to install DBI via CPAN? If it's there the worst that can happen is it will say it's 'up to date'.
Be sure that (if you're root) the UNINST=1 option is set for 'make_install_arg'. I kept getting multiple versions before I set that. Greg Gregory L.
