Could you humour me, and try disabling PHP in Apache, and then seeing if 
that stops the Catalyst app crashing?

I think you can do it by 'rm /etc/apache/mods-enabled/*php*.load' or 
something very similar?


To check the actual versions of libraries used, you can do:
ldd /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_php*.so
ldd /usr/lib/perl5/auto/DBD/mysql/mysql.so
(At least I'm pretty sure that's where the files should be on debian etch)

But if you've recompiled dbd::mysql from source, and not mod_php, then 
I'll bet this IS the problem. Sorry.
