Expected results:

It should have successfully completed as I have MySQL and it's Perl module installed on the system.

cpan> install DBD::mysql
DBD::mysql is up to date (4.019).

Comment 2

[:glob ✱]

this looks a lot like bug 678772, however the error message is different, and you're running an old version of perl.

prat2006, are you able to apply the patch from that bug onto your install to see if it fixes the problem?

Bug 678772 is about version.pm v0.92 and newer, which can get updated regardless of Perl version. So I really think this is a duplicate of that bug (which is fixed but not yet released). Reporter, please feel free to reopen if that bug doesn't fix your problem. Thanks!

I was able to proceed further and complete the installation after upgrading the Perl to 5.14. Thanks for the help.
