Hi Mike,

I will confirm, you probably have a confused set of perl paths.  I
recommend that you use perl from CSWperl, as well as the CSWpm perl
module package for DBD-mysql (pm_dbdmysql).  You should also not be
setting a LD_LIBRARY_PATH (or you should be *extremely* careful when
doing so) when using blastwave packages.

If you need to add additional @INC paths to CSWperl, such as to point
to locally developed perl modules in /usr/local/lib/perl, you can add:

unshift @INC, '/usr/local/lib/perl';

to /opt/csw/share/perl/site_perl/sitecustomize.pl (see
http://perldoc.perl.org/perlrun.html for details).
