i must have misunderstood your question, this is were the original version was that worked. after doing a 10.3 upgrade is when i started having the problem. so after upgrading, how do i get DBI to work? do i need to recompile 5.8.1?
No, you need to reinstall and compile DBI, as well as any other modules you'd previously used with Perl 5.8.0. This is because the copy of Perl 5.8.1 that comes with panther isn't aware of the Perl you'd compiled yourself.
But installing the modules should be pretty easy. Make sure you have the dev tools for Panther instead of for Jaguar, and then just use CPAN.pm:
% cpan CPAN> install DBI
