What's really interesting is the readme for this version 
(http://cpan.org/modules/by-authors/id/TIMB/DBI-1.38.readme) says in it:

BEFORE BUILDING, TESTING AND INSTALLING this you will need to:

    Build, test and install Perl 5 (5.005_03 or later).

But all the readmes for several versions back seem to say the same thing (the 
copyright hasn't been updated since 2002 though, so...)

Tim recommends (for problems) "For more information and to keep informed about 
progress you can join the mailing list via mailto:dbi-users-help@xxxxxxxx";

Or just start grabbing each version back from the current one, and build it 
the manual way (perl Makefile.pl && make && make test && make install) until 
you get one that builds...?
