Dear Stephen, 

Thank you for the reply.  

I'm using debian woody.  
paq:~#dpkg -l perl\* | grep ^i
shows all are of same version 5.6.1-7
paq:~#dpkg -l libdbi-perl | grep ^i
version is 1.41-1.  

I don't know actually from where I installed the DBI.  May be from a 
third party.  If the version conflict is the case, I don't know which one 
I should change?  Perl or DBI??  Lots of other projects are running on 
that server.  So, it may not be wise to change Perl.  If I can be assured 
that version conflict is the reason behind, then I will take another machine 
to run this project.  But, before that, I like to be sure, whether
this is version
conflict or some other reasons.
