It might help to see the code you are using to instantiate your DBI object. I know you said your code is flawless, but you have no idea what percentage of the time somebody says that and they are wrong. It might help to assure us with a snippet that you are creating your DBI object correctly before we spend time debugging a Perl module that is arguably working fine for others.

Unfortunately I don't have a copy of DBD::XBase or else I'd try further. Could we perhaps see this line it's referring to (perhaps with a bit of context)? Is there any way you can trace the flow of execution from your script into this module to determine what it's trying to do with this undefined object and why it might be undefined?
