Dear Sir/Madam: I had a problem to install Perl DBI module into my MacBook Pro with OSX 10.8.2 which has pre-installed Perl v5.12.4.
After installation of MySQL-5.6.10-osx10.7-x86_64 and Xcode 4.6. I am trying to install DBI and DBD::MySQL into my machine by using CPAN via Terminal. During the process, I got two kinds of error info as following ...... *** Your LANG environment variable is set to 'en_US.UTF-8' *** This may cause problems for some perl installations. *** If you get test failures, please try again with LANG unset. *** If that then works, please email dbi-dev@perl.org with details *** including the output of 'perl -V' ...... Writing Makefile for DBI TIMB/DBI-1.623.tar.gz make -- NOT OK 'YAML' not installed, will not store persistent state ...... Eventually installation failed. I tried to install YAML, it also failed. I googled everywhere, and could not find a solution. So I am seeking help from you. My questions are 1. How I can re-set "LANG environment variable" from 'en_US.UTF-8' to 'unset'? 2. How I can install DBI and DBD::MySQL into my computer? Any response will be highly appreciated. Best regard! Jian Lee NOTES: The following is all information I got during installation. Hope it will be helpful for you to figure out the problem for me.

Looks good I see you're using perl 5.012004 on darwin-thread-multi-2level, okay. Remember to actually *read* the README file! Use 'make' to build the software (dmake or nmake on Windows). Then 'make test' to execute self tests. Then 'make install' to install the DBI and then delete this working directory before unpacking and building any DBD::* drivers.
