During ./Configure of perl-5.9.1 I get:

Do you want to install only the version-specific parts of the perl
distribution? Usually you do *not* want to do this.
Do you want to install only the version-specific parts of perl? [y] n

*** WHOA THERE!!! ***
The recommended value for $versiononly on this machine was "define"!
Keep the recommended value? [y]

Am I right in supposing that the real recommendation is to answer 'n'
not 'y'?

To configure development versions you need to specify -Dusedevel,
which (intentionally) causes versiononly to default to true; the text
of the question is really meant for non-development versions. You
could run Configure with -Dusedevel -Uversiononly if you want to quiet
this down.

Questions about unreleased development versions of perl should be addressed

1. Configure DBI logging to be more specific. 

Hello,
I am using DBI and relativly new to it.

I get a lot of error messages like

[Wed Jan 10 05:16:44 2009] DB-INSERT.pl: DBD::mysql::st execute failed: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '44522  ','Bonn  at /usr/local/adm/
DB-INSERT.pl line 123.

(Its not my code but sadly I have to do the maintenance.)
I guess its a quoting error, thats not the problem. but I want DBI and/or SQL die give me the whole Line where the syntax-error occurd not just a useless snip.

Ok, I could log in case of error by myself. But dont know how to bring perl to only "onetime" interpolating the query.
Any comments?

Thanks,B.
