Overview:
 Optional - Setup "Direct connection to CPAN" using CPAN Shell
 Step #1   - Install DBI
 Step #2   - Install DBD::mysql
 Step #3   - Install SNMP_Session
 Step #4   - Install Net::SNMP
 Step #5   - Install CGI.pm

Optional

Setup "Direct connection to CPAN" using CPAN Shell

Home: 

 http://www.cpan.org

# Note: If you are behind a proxy server read this

# Prerequisite: Perl CPAN Shell
 


# Launch the CPAN shell anytime
/usr/bin/perl -MCPAN -e shell

# Install DBI (via CPAN Shell now or at Step #1 coming up in the very next section)
install DBI



# CPAN shell commands to know - just FYI
?           <-- Display Help Menu
reload cpan <-- Reloads CPAN interface
i /DBD/     <-- Searches for any module with "DBD" in the name
install DBI <-- Installs module "DBI"

 

Step #1 - You can safely skip this DBI step if you installed DBI via the CPAN shell above

Install DBI

tar xvf DBI-1.52.tar.gz

# Configure
cd DBI-1.52

# Compile
make

# Install
make install
