This is really weird, when I look at installed packages in PPM DB_File is really listed, however when I try to install BioPerl through CPAN or the PPM gui the install complains about DB_File (and other packages) not being here:

In PPM: 

 ERROR: Can't find any package that provides Ace:: for Bundle-BioPerl-
+Core
Can't find any package that provides DB_File:: for Bundle-BioPerl-Core
Can't find any package that provides IPC::Run for GraphViz
