Tim: I am new to linux and am trying to make a connection to postrgresql using perl and apache on a linux operating system using the potato version. When installing the DBI module I ran into dependency problems because the perl packages that came with my linux CD's were version 5.005 compatible. I subsequently tried removing the older versions of Perl packages and tried to install the newer versions. But I just keep encountering dependencies with other non perl packages. I am now at the point where I don't have Perl installed, cannot reinstall my original version of Perl, and cannot install the latest versions available on the debian.org website. I would appreciate it if you could give some direction on how I can dig myself out of the hole I've dug. thanks for your help Kenneth Blue __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
