A very minor nit - the Makefile.PL spits out an warning for perl

Why? I thought the point was that 5.6.2 *was* supported still.

The point is - Perl 5.6.1 is not valid (though you can try it and the best
of British); 5.6.2 is OK but you may run into issues.

Well, one of those issues is that it doesn't pass its tests :-)

See the log from trying to build and install it and all its dependencies
here:
http://www.cantrell.org.uk/david/private/DBI-build-output-perl-5.6.2.gz

I'm not sure why at the bottom it says "Test result is 'na':
Prerequisite version too low" as all the pre-reqs are satisfied

Test::Simple: required: 0.40 installed: 0.70
Storable: required: 1 installed: 2.16
File::Spec: required: 1 installed: 3.24
