Hello,

I have a g4 running 10.1.5.  It came with perl 5.6.0 installed.  I 
installed a new version of mysql and movabltype  and would like to 
use the perl dbi/dbd::mysql to interface with both these programs.

When I try to install dbi.pm I get the following error message:
Error: Unable to locate installed Perl libraries or Perl source code.

It is recommended that you install perl in a standard location before
building extensions. Some precompiled versions of perl do not contain
these header files, so you cannot build extensions. In such a case,
please build and install your perl from a fresh perl distribution. It
usually solves this kind of problem.

(You get this message, because MakeMaker could not find 
"/System/Library/Perl/darwin/CORE/perl.h")

I've tried installing dbi.pm from cpan and through fink, with the 
same error message.

Does this mean that the perl version that comes with os x 10.1.5 is 
non-standard?  Should I install a new version of perl?  Or am I 
missing something else that is going to allow this all to come 
together?

Thank you,
Marijka
