Greetings MySQL gurus!

I am setting up a local db and plan to access it via perl & DBI.  on a Mac
iBook running OSX 10.3.2

After creating a new user account to run the sql server, I connected to
the sql server with my personal account and all works fine regarding
accessing my tables, etc.

I then went  to CPAN to get DBI, DBD::mysql, and CGI, but ran into many
problems, mostly with make test and make install.

Any advice would be truly appreciated.  Should I not use CPAN?

Here's briefly the log (Note : I cancelled a previous cpan> install
Bundle::CPAN with Ctrl-C, which probably caused the "lock" which I
over-came by using 'sudo' superuser)

---------------------------------------------

% perl -MCPAN -e shell

Your configuration suggests that CPAN.pm should use a working
directory of
    /Users/tfiedler/.cpan
Unfortunately we could not create the lock file
    /Users/tfiedler/.cpan/.lock
due to permission problems.

Please make sure that the configuration variable
    $CPAN::Config->{cpan_home}
points to a directory where you can write a .lock file. You can set
this variable in either
    /System/Library/Perl/5.8.1/CPAN/Config.pm
or
    /Users/tfiedler/.cpan/CPAN/MyConfig.pm

Could not open >/Users/tfiedler/.cpan/.lock: Permission denied

*** You are using a perl configured with threading enabled.
*** You should be aware that using multiple threads is
*** not recommended for production environments.

*** Note:
    The optional PlRPC-modules (RPC::PlServer etc) are not installed.
    If you want to use the DBD::Proxy driver and DBI::ProxyServer
    modules, then you'll need to install the RPC::PlServer, RPC::PlClient,
    Storable and Net::Daemon modules. The CPAN Bundle::DBI may help you.
    You can install them any time after installing the DBI.
    You do *not* need these modules for typical DBI usage.

Optional modules are available from any CPAN mirror, in particular
    http://search.cpan.org/

Looks good

Error: Unable to locate installed Perl libraries or Perl source code.

It is recommended that you install perl in a standard location before
building extensions. Some precompiled versions of perl do not contain
these header files, so you cannot build extensions. In such a case,
please build and install your perl from a fresh perl distribution. It
usually solves this kind of problem.

(You get this message, because MakeMaker could not find
"/System/Library/Perl/5.8.1/darwin-thread-multi-2level/CORE/perl.h")
