Apache::DBI::connect problem, please help

[Brad Howerter]

I'm getting this error:

[error] Can't locate object 
method "connect" via package "Apache::DBI::connect" at
 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/i386-dynixptx/DBI.pm line 408.

One way I can avoid the error is to change startup.pl 
to use DBI() instead of use Apache::DBI().  Why does that 
fix it?  And does it hurt anything if I don't use Apache::DBI()? 
What's that for, anyway?  Is Apache/DBI.pm supposed to be 
the same as the other one in the perl library?  (It is)

my startup.pl has this in it:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
$ENV{MOD_PERL} or die "Not running under mod_perl!";

use Apache::Registry;
use Apache::DBI ();

# Tell me more about warnings
use Carp;
$SIG{__WARN__} = \&Carp::cluck;

use CGI qw(-compile :all);
1;

and my test program is this:

#!/usr/local/bin/perl
use strict;

use Carp;
$SIG{__WARN__} = \&Carp::cluck;

use DBI;
use DBD::Oracle;
use CGI ();

my $cgi = new CGI;
print $cgi->header; my $db = DBI->connect('', 'scott', 'tiger', { } ) or die
DBI::errstr;
print "Connected!\n";
