Derrick:
One more question. My installation order:
cpan> install Data::Dumper
cpan> install Bundle::CPAN
You have suggested the installation order:
cpan> install Bundle::CPAN
cpan> install Data::Dumper
Question: Since I have already done the installation, will it mess up my
current installation? Do I need to re-install? If I need to re-install, can
I just go ahead and re-install on top of old installation?
Thanks.
Kirti

First of all, the echo command above isn't really doing anything. You
can drop it. Second, the prompt you were getting was most likely that
the version of the CPAN package you are using is out of date (that is,
the cpan> prompt has a newer version). Change the order to:
% perl -MCPAN -e shell
Note: Answer "no" to auto-configure perl.
cpan> install Bundle::CPAN
cpan> install Data::Dumper
cpan> install Bundle::DBI
cpan> install Bundle::DBD::mysql
cpan> quit
