Re: Reg: Help required installing dbi on AIX Server

When you use 'sudo', your PATH is changed.  Try: sudo sh -c 'echo $PATH'


(a) Don't compile as 'root' (install as root if you must, but personally, I
leave the system's Perl strictly untouched and create my own copy of Perl
every time).
(b) If you must compile as 'root', you'll have to reset root's path to
include /usr/vac/bin.

Good luck.

Another reason for building your own Perl is that you could use a less
archaic version — like 5.16.2 instead of 5.8.8!

Don't try using GCC unless you build your own Perl with it.  You will be in
for a world of pain.
