(And I suggest you get a > newer Perl while you're at it, but that is not mandatory.) Actually I don't think the DBI needs to require version 1 of File::Spec. I've changed the next release to not require a minimum version of File::Spec. Eric, if you've not upgraded File::Spec yet then I'd appreciate it if you'd try using the 0.86 version you already have. Just delete the "File::Spec" => 1 line in Makefile.PL Thanks. Tim.
