It has been helpfully pointed out to me that the Changes file in the 
Class::DBI distribution indicates that version 0.95 "Now requires Perl 5.6 
or greater." I shall attempt downgrading to Class::DBI 0.90 as my friendly 
administrator has only compiled DBD::mysql for 5.005_03.

I will also humbly suggest that line 3 of Class::DBI, "require 5.00502;", 
be updated. I assume CPAN PODs are not the appropriate place for perl 
prereqs or this information would already be there. In the future I shall 
consult 'Changes' (and maybe even configure things properly so that I or 
CPAN.pm can 'make','make install','make test' etc).

Thanks for the help,
