Error "Can't locate version.pm in @INC" when I call my DBI module

Question

I have installed DBI and DBD module in my computer, but when I execute the perl script, errors like "Can't locate version.pm in @INC" occurs. Is there something wrong with my DBD ?or Is there some dependency need to be installed?

My OS is Redhat Linux, perl version 5.8.8, which satisfies the requirements of DBD installation.

Here is what the @INC contains:

/usr/lib64/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/x86_64-linux-thread-multi
/usr/lib64/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7/x86_64-linux-thread-multi
/usr/lib64/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6/x86_64-linux-thread-multi
/usr/lib64/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/x86_64-linux-thread-multi
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl
/usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/x86_64-linux-thread-multi
/usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.7/x86_64-linux-thread-multi
/usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.6/x86_64-linux-thread-multi
/usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.5/x86_64-linux-thread-multi
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.7
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.6
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.5
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl
/usr/lib64/perl5/5.8.8/x86_64-linux-thread-multi
/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8

locate version returns:
/opt/app/ora11g/product/11.2.0/client_1/perl/lib/5.10.0/version.pm

What is the OS and perl installation? Have checked your lib path? `perl -le 'print foreach @INC'` — Lone Shepherd, Aug 02 '12 at 03:25
I have added the result, maybe that is the point but how to modify? — venus.w, Aug 02 '12 at 03:34

corelist version

version was first released with perl v5.9.0

Since your version of perl is older than perl^5.9.0 you may have to install version.pm manually.

my perl version is 5.8.8, which version of version.pm is suitable to install? – venus.w Aug 02 '12 at 05:21
I guess you are trying to install the module manually. Please use `cpan` or `cpanm` to install the module. Install the latest version: `0.99`. – Alan Haggai Alavi Aug 02 '12 at 05:36
I had the same problem upgrading bugzilla 4.4.1 to 4.4.10 on EL7 with perl 5.16.3 . To correct the issue I ran: yum -y install 'perl(version)' , and the problem went away – Pancho Oct 26 '15 at 23:12

It looks like there is something wrong with your Perl installation.

version has been a core module since Perl v5.9.0 and it is used by only a few modules, not including DBI

Which package is failing with this error? The message will tell you which file is using version. You can either do without this package or install a newer version of Perl
