in reply to object creation

There might be a module "DB" already installed on your Perl. Check with the following code which one you "use": 

use DB;
print $INC{"DB.pm"};

    sure it belongs to the perldebugger and is available for every Perl

    so better don't try to run this code with -d =)

      Runs fine for me: 

      C:\strawberry-perl-5.16.3.1-64bit-portable\scripts>perl -d -e "use DB;
+ print $INC{'DB.pm'};"

Loading DB routines from perl5db.pl version 1.37
Editor support available.

Enter h or 'h h' for help, or 'perldoc perldebug' for more help.

        Sorry I was talking about the OP's project, not your snippet.

        Manipulating DB:: means sabotaging the debugger, which is activated with '-d'.
