Re: [cobalt-developers] DBI perl module

["Brian Foy Jr." <cio@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Most PERL Modules are pretty straight forward.
You have to be root do install so use the su
command to su to root.

(If I lost you read the bottom)

You un tar (and if necessary un gzip) the file.

cd into the directory it created

type:

PERL Makefile.PL <enter>

make ( watch for errors ) <enter>

if no errors found during make then...

make install <enter>

That will put the DBI.pm in the proper place.
You should be all set after that...

For specific instructions on how to use telnet, su, gzip or tar
a simple search on Google.com for a linux primer will help
you further. Good luck and welcome to the world of PERL
Modules :)
