Hi there

I may be showing my ignorance a little here and this may not be the best place to ask, given that it's also a Linux question, but I am practising setting up a CentOS server to run a Catalyst app on and am trying to keep the Perl installations separate (as specified in Perlbrew issues. Suggest a way out.).

I've been doing okay with it, but am having issues installing DBD::mysql because you can't (as far as I can tell) do it via CPAN. The documentation says to:

Use the following command to install DBD::mysql:

yum install "perl(DBD::mysql)"

However, this command installs the module for the system Perl and not the separate installation I plan on using.

Does anyone know of a way to modify the above command to install DBD::mysql for the non-system Perl please?

I'm very much a novice to Linux, just running CentOS in VirtualBox to practice.

Thank you in advance

Chris

Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
