I did it a mess with perl
Hi Friends, I'll be a long reading for you! As an absolute beginner with Perl I've been having a go at using Perl DBI to connect to an Oracle server. therefore I neede to download and install from www.cpan.org the DBD::Oracle and the new DBI... *The Sad Story* Reading the poor documentation under my debian potato 2.2r3 and the copious documentation on Perl (www.perl.org), perldoc and CPAN, and following the advice in dbi-users@perl.org list, not finding the command 'cpan' in my potato installation, I finally issued: perl -MCPAN -eshell which (unfortunately) started a brand-new compilation and installation (using, upon my silly declaration, /usr/bin and /usr/lib) of perl (5.6.1), and of the DBI and DBDs I'd asked for. *The bottom line* So, now I have that strange, confusing mixture of a perl 5.005 coming from a deb package and a perl 5.6.1 compiled from tarballs in CPAN under the same /usr/bin and /usr/lib. Obviously the perl command was overwritten during the compilation by version 5.6.1. *Your suggestion for a way out* Minimal: Because I need various DBDs which are not included in the deb files, is there away to fix perl as it is now in my PC? Tiresome: I luckily did a complete backup of my system tarring all the main dirs on another linux box via NFS. Therefore I could have a chance to recover my initial, working greatly, stable configuration. But what should I do to install a new DBI and many DBM and whatever else stuff from CPAN which are not included in the deb packages? Ciao Vittorio :-((

Obviously the perl command was overwritten during the compilation by version 5.6.1. *Your suggestion for a way out* Reinstall all the perl debs on your system. If you use the --reinstall option to apt-get, it is almost easy, even. Minimal: Because I need various DBDs which are not included in the deb files, is there away to fix perl as it is now in my PC? Reinstall all perl packages that dpkg thinks are still on your system. Tiresome: I luckily did a complete backup of my system tarring all the main dirs on another linux box via NFS. Therefore I could have a chance to recover my initial, working greatly, stable configuration. But With debian, you only need a backup of /etc and of /var/lib/dpkg/status. The rest can be installed completely. There are extra copies of the status file in /var/backups, too (useful when you have hosed only the status file and do not want to reconstruct it manually). what should I do to install a new DBI and many DBM and whatever else stuff from CPAN which are not included in the deb packages?

This works for most simple packages and is also useful for getting started with packaging perl modules. Given a perl package name, it can also automatically download it from CPAN. Cheers, Joost
