Re: Perl DBI 1.52 on el6

You might want to try installing the version of DBI you want using
local::lib, which can be done with something like (this is using cpan
minus):
    cpanm --local-lib=/path/to/custom/location DBI@1.52

then in your Perl script:
    use local::lib '/path/to/custom/location';

If you need to do a full compile of perl, use perlbrew.  You don't want to
mess with the system version of Perl in any way if you can avoid it.
