I know this has been asked recently but has anyone have any luck and/or hints installing BerkeleyDB.pm? Berkeley itself is installed correctly, (Installed both 3.3.11 and 4.0.14 and had the same problems installing the Modules for it)

Using the version provided with the distros I get 
perl mkconsts pm BerkeleyDB.pm > BerkeleyDB.pm.tmp && mv BerkeleyDB.pm
+.tmp BerkeleyDB.pm
Can't locate ExtUtils/Constant.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/local/l
+ib/perl5/5.6.1/sparc64-linux \

BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at mkconsts line 3.
make: *** [BerkeleyDB.pm] Error 2

which looks like I'll have to go to 5.7.* to get this to work (I am under the impression you can't just update ExtUtils) or the CPAN way, which every test fails with 
blah,blah,balh ............. Can't load 'blib/arch/auto/BerkeleyDB/Ber

The docs say this indicates a missing or old db.h file. This isn't the case. Modified the makefile for it to point to it, then later changed every copy of it on the system to the newest db.h.

I've also replaced all the libdb.a * libdb.so files per the README to the newest versions without any luck.

Suggestions/Enlightenment welcome.

Thanks -Lee
