Hello: I've installed dozens of Perl/Apache modules with out any problems until last week. I'm using Perl 5.8.0 and Apache 1.3.31. Module Apache::Session 1.6 is failing test "t/99dbfile" with the following error message: 
t/99dbfile.........Can't locate DB_File.pm in @INC (@INC contains:

Am I missing some dependency? I was using: 
"perl -MCPAN -e "install Apache::Session"

I'm also failing tests in three other modules afterwards: WWW::Mechanize and Log::Dispatch (and prerequisite Module::Build) -paul mcferrin
