One way to install Perl's DBI/DBD modules
Authored by: kellert on Nov 08, '06 11:00:28AM

I agree, Fink is useful for some of the highly dependent perl modules. The good people at fink recommend editing your shell rc file though to include the fink path. Then you don't have to edit all your files with the use lib '/sw/...'; statemement. For bash you add this to .bashrc:
# set up fink env variables (including PERL5LIB, MANPATH, etc)
test -r /sw/bin/init.sh && . /sw/bin/init.sh

The init.sh script gets installed when you install fink.
