Hmm,
I would first try to check if perl itself does load DBI at all.
i.e. a small script with only 'use DBI;' in it.
I'm not too trusting of the install/check script there telling you perl
can't load dynamic. For starters, I would think MakeMaker would tell you
that when trying to install DBI/DBD dynamicly.
Building 'staticly' means you really include the DBI/DBD modules INTO your
perl binary. Makes for difficult upgrades and other troubles, you really
should try to get dynamic to work, spend some time on it if nessecary.
I never use CPAN-Shell (company network) but if you want to build something
staticly you have to use a different 'make' command after having run 'perl
Makefile.PL'. I think you can force CPAN-Shell to re-install a module, that
would include testing which would be nice to confirm if perl itself works
with DBI at least. (you need to specify a username/password for most DBD
tests)
What OS and database are you using ?
