I've tried jsut about everything I can think of to fix this problem. I'm still getting the same error after reinstalling the operating system withouth any of the default RedHat Apache or MySQL support. I upgraded the version of perl that was installed with RedHat 7.1 prior to compiling Apache, MySQL, DBI, and Mysql-modules all from the latest sources.

I think my problem may stem from the fact that the DBI.pm is not being found in the @INC path. I had to copy it from ../i686-linux/DBI.pm to ..i686-linux/Apache/DBI.pm directory in order for httpd to start. I assume this is where my problem is. It's just a guess. Any suggestions?
