Hi,
    I've installed the binary port of perl5.6.1 and I'm having no end of
frustration with cpan.  I skipped cpan and downloaded the tarball of DBI and
unpacked it with winzip 8 okay. perl Makefile.PL gave me errors and I'd like
to know how to test perl itself (not DBI)?  There somewhere is a script that
I can run which tests the perl installation.  Any pointers would be a great
help in figuring out where I've messed up.

        Regards Ian.
