Most Perl modules have to be able to compile on a wide variety of C
compilers. As a result, 'unused variables' may occur; they are not normally
a problem.
Make sure your account has at least read and execute permission on all
directories leading up to DBI???.so. You also need to be able to read that
file.
If you installed Perl from a RPM or it came with the OS install, you
probably should rebuild Perl with the currently installed compiler and
libraries then install the modules you want. That frequently resolves
problems of this sort.
