No I do not (see below) and have not been able to get rid of this messages
yet. How do I track down what Perl is really trying to do here? Incidentally
perl_root:[lib]/ does look kind of weird, doesn't it?

(Side remark: That happens with both ODS-2 and ODS-5 disks for the DBI module
perl_root is on an ODS-5 disk.)

Well, the easy solution (that actually works) to this one is to move the 
build to an ODS-5 disk, where the files can be created that way.

MMK test actually indicates that the build went ok, good advise!


Now the second part of the question: Anybody already had a look at 
DBD::MySQL? I've got the server build fine and running and now would like to 
connect to it using Perl...

Actually I do. Shold we stick our heads together with Mr. Freeware CD to 
see if we can get a nice collection of Perl Modules on there for V6?
