Can"t locate object method "require_version" via package "DBI"

I've searched the archives and the 'net but can't really
find anything that provides a solution to the following
problem:

I've compiled Apache 1.3.27, mod_perl 1.27, and installed
the latest DBI and Apache-DBI perl modules, but whenever
I try to start my web server, I get the following error:

Can't locate object method "require_version" via package
"DBI" (perhaps you forgot to load "DBI"?) at
/usr/opt/perl5/lib/site_perl/5.8.0/Apache/DBI.pm line 10.

This is an AIX 5.2 box with Perl 5.8.0. Please tell me
someone has a solution to this...

what's the latest DBI? 1.35 or 1.36-tobe? what's the Apache::DBI version?

require_version is iherited by DBI.pm from Exporter.pm, so since Apache::DBI
did load DBI, it should work.

This is exactly the same:
DBI->require_version(1.00)
as the original:
require_version DBI 1.00;

but give it a try (adjust /usr/opt/perl5/lib/site_perl/5.8.0/Apache/DBI.pm)

If everything fails, try to replace it with:

require Exporter;
Exporter::require_version('DBI', 1.00);

Re: Can"t locate object method "require_version" via package "DBI"

DBI 1.35 and Apache-DBI 0.91.

I tried both of your suggested modifications to the
module, however neither worked. I get the same error
with the first, and the second (to include Exporter)
gives me the error:

DBI defines neither package nor VERSION--version check failed at
/usr/opt/perl5/lib/5.8.0/Exporter/Heavy.pm line 221

Any more suggestions?

Re: Can"t locate object method "require_version" via package "DBI"

I found the problem. There was another DBI.pm module in
/usr/opt/perl5/lib/5.8.0/aix-thread-multi/. Removing this
file fixed everything. I should have paid more attention
to the DBI install process because it recommended removing
this file. This was an Apache-DBI module. I'm not sure if
it came as part of the standard installation or if Apache-DBI
installation process put it there. Strange.
