Thank you Chad and sorry if I sent the reply to you to your personal address.
Before I do that, I have another question. I normally install and update MySQL from source manually whenever the new version is released. Now, if I install DBD-mysql from the Ubuntu Repository rather than from the source, would it cause any problems with the latest version of MySQL?

Well, it doesn't seem like that DBI installation is even doing anything. But yes, you should remove it, just to get rid of the clutter. I would just run this: rm -r /root/perl5 Then install DBI and DBD-mysql from your distro's packaging system. They'll be put in the correct place (one of the perl locations under /usr/share or /usr/lib), and then spamassassin and the others will be able to use them. > On Wednesday, 21 May 2014 10:32 AM, Chad Wallace > <cwall...@lodgingcompany.com> wrote: > > > On Tue, 20 May 2014 17:22:58 -0700 > > John R Pierce <pie...@hogranch.com> wrote: > > > what operating system are you on? isn't there a DBI and such in the > > OS package repository? > > > > for instance, on a RHEL/CentOS/Fedora type system, I'd use... > > > > sudo yum install perl-DBI perl-DBD-MySQL > > > > of course, for a different Linux distribution, or another OS > > entirely, both the command and the package names are probably > > different. > > on Debian and related distros: > > sudo apt-get install libdbi-perl libdbd-mysql-perl > > > -- C.
