I was setting up a Linux Redhat 6.1 server earlier today and part of it was
prepping perl for use with DBI. Did the ole 'perl -MCPAN -e shell' and
installed the recommended like I usually do and didn't notice that some of
the ones that I usually update were attached to the latest greatest 5.6
distribution and found myself running through the perl install. I figured
it could do much harm (or at least could be any worse than 5.004...).
Anyways, things started out pretty smoothly untill I went to set up the DBI
module. Then these nasty errors popped up (they appear to be standard
modules and I was told I had they were "already updated"). See as follows:
===========================
[....omitted.....]
t/proxy.............Constant subroutine __need___va_list undefined at
/usr/lib/perl5/5.00503/i386-linux/stdarg.ph line 9.

and LINES environment variables didn't work. The resize program didn't work.

==============================
This module has been a breeze to install in the past. If I'm not
submitting this to the right place, I'd appreciate be pointed in the right
direction. BTW, I got this same error running install within the CPAN shell
and a standard unix bourne shell. This has always been a painless install
before, so I'm only ASSuming that the 5.6 distribution is the culprit.
Thanx in advance...
