Re: cpan module install woes - UTF-8 problem?

Grrr...

It's a pet peeve of mine that missing libraries are described as "probably
harmless." At least nine times out of ten, a missing library will result in
an XS module that either fails to build or fails its tests.

Let's see if that's the case here...

BerkeleyDB.c BerkeleyDB.xs:68:16: error: db.h: No such file or directory

Yep. You're missing the Berkeley DB C library, and it's not as harmless as
the warning would have you believe. The Perl module is just a wrapper for
the C library, and without the C library it can't work.
