Thanks for that valueable tip. It seems to be stuck on line 95 of the
Makefile:
my $is_me = (-d "/home/timbo/dbi" && ($ENV{LOGNAME})||'') eq 'timbo');
# a reasonable guessAny guesses? My LOGNAME is set to the same account that installed perl5.8.0 and dbi-1.37.

For example, try "perl -d Makefile.PL" to run it under the debugger, then "t" to enable trace then "c" to continue. You'll get a vast amount of output but it should show you what's happening. Tim.
