I don't see why that would be a problem, but I'm not certain. My only
experience is with MySQL. When I installed the client using binaries,
I had some problems, but when I compiled my client from source, it
linked to "mysql.h" and worked fine.
What DB are you using? I'm sort of a "source-a-holic" (like an alco-
but with source code - oh, never mind) so if you're not doing
"roll-your-own'" it's out of me and the DEA's jurisdiction.

To quickly ressurect this, I learned the issue. There is a bug in the early
versions of perl 5.8.*
I used the patch found in the dbi-dev list from Tim Bunce to fix it and it
makes me feel a lot better thgat something is lurking out there to bite me:
