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

The point is - Perl 5.6.1 is not valid (though you can try it and the best

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:

Please try with http://homepage.mac.com/tim.bunce/.Public/perl/DBI-1.55-RC1.tar.gz
Send me the log if there are any problems.
Thanks.
