Ah, that makes sense now.

When you installed Apache::DBI, you installed it using perl -MCPAN -e 'shell' right? Well this installed it using Perl 5.6.1.

However, mod_perl was built using perl 5.6.0, so it's using a different set of libraries and does not have access to the module you installed.

You want to do:

perl5.6.0 -MCPAN -e 'install Apache::DBI'

to install it for the same version mod_perl is using.

Cheers,

Alex
