[ic] DBI & DBD install

[interchange-users@icdevgroup.org (Webmaster)]

Has anyone had problems installing the modules for DBI & DBD for mysql??  I
got the modules from cpan.org and am attempting to install with the
following commands:
perl -MCPAN -e 'install DBI'
perl -MCPAN -e 'install DBD::mysql'

At the end of the attempted DBI install I get a message about not having
permissions to install into the /usr/lib/perl5... directories.  Do I have to
do this as root?

Also, at the end of the DBD install, I get messages about not being able to
run mysql_config.  Could that be because the above failed?
