perl module installation error

I just upgraded 5.00.5 to 5.6.1f
using swinstall
I ran perl -v and it gave me a old version
So I went on forum read about /usr/contrib/bin
rename the old perl to perl.old and put a new version
So far so good perl -v works
and I am a happy man

Our DBA asked me to install modules
DBI and DBD which should be easy

perl Makefile.PL
And I am getting this error:

# perl Makefile.PL
Can't locate Test/More.pm in @INC (@INC contains: lib /opt/perl/lib/5.6.1/PA-RISC1.1-thread-multi /opt/perl/lib/5.6.1 /opt/perl/lib/site_perl/5.6.1/PA-RISC1.1-thread-multi /opt/perl/lib/site_perl/5.6.1 /opt/perl/lib/site_perl .) at Makefile.PL line 39.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at Makefile.PL line 39.
#

P.S. help with install "Test/More.pm"
I went on CPAN and found the sourse code ....and got stuck
what next

Re: perl module installation error

If you are using a more recent DBI (1.45) and/or DBD_Oracle (1.16), Test::More is now a prerequisite module

For those two, I'd also recommend using perl-5.8.x (5.8.3 or 5.8.5) because it has a lot of fixes related to Unicode, and you are bound to meet those any day soon in modern databases

Sorry, but 5.6.1 is now considered old. There is already a 5.6.2 maintainance release available in the 5.6.x track, but the 5.8 track is considered the stable release, with 5.8.6 coming out in a few weeks (if all goes well)

If you can't find a depot with perl-5.8 (http://hpux.connect.org.uk/hppd/hpux/Languages/perl-5.8.5/ only has depots for 11.11), you can still find almost any build for all HP-UX pa-risc versions on my site, and they include the most recent DBI at the moment of my bundle release (for my 5.8.5 builds that is DBI-1.43)

My HP ITRC site pages can be found at (please use LA as primary choice):
