Is this 1.9? I'm not sure how rubygems would be automatically required
in 1.8.x. I guess it's also possible that the require overrides have
been removed from rubygems. require_gem has been deprecated for some
time and probably has been removed by now.
Well, either way, I can test it at home (personally, I prefer the gem
statements to magic, moving-target require statements) but it doesn't
seem like your problem has anything to do with DBI or DBI::DBD::Mysql,
but either rubygems or your misunderstanding of the version you're
working with.
