[WBEL-users] I hate perl

[Matthew Nielsen]

I always have problems with DBD::mysql from the cpan shell -- usually I 
have much better luck downloading it and installing the module from the 
tarball (you can find it on search.cpan.org).

The LANG=C is always a good bet, like you tried, and there's a new one  
you might like to test out: "LC_ALL=C".
