Unlike installing any other perl module I've tried, this isn't obvious or
straightforward...

1. I installed DBI-1.38

2. When I ran 'perl Makefile.PL' for DBD-mysql-2.9002 I got 'Warning:
prerequisite DBI 1.08 not found.'

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

I install on Mac OS X using CPAN:


# perl -MCPAN -e shell
cpan> install DBI
cpan> force install DBD::mysql


I use "force" for DBD::mysql, because it wants to run tests by connecting to the MySQL server using an anonymous account, and I always remove those accounts. force causes the install to proceed even though the tests fail.
