[csw-users] perl problems

Historically we've run perl, php, mysql, etc. out of /usr/local/. Path 
and LD_LIB_PATH have /usr/local/{bin,lib} near at the front. This is a 
Solaris 10/x86 machine so /usr/sfw is also available.

I recently needed to upgrade to apache2/php5/mysql5 and used Neal 
Pollack's excellent recipe from his blog. This turned me on to blastwave 
and pkg-get.

I made the mistake of deleting /usr/local/mysql (v4) from /usr/local. 
/usr/local/bin/perl was connecting to a mysql DB on another machine 
using the client.

I can now use /opt/csw/bin/perl to connect to mysql5, but I can't get 
libwww to install in /opt/csw. I also can't get the DBI/DBD to reinstall 
in /usr/local.

I assume I have a confused set of perl paths. Any recommendation on how 
to proceed?

Thanks,
Mike
