I just compiled perl 5.6.0 for my Cobalt RaQ2. Seems to have run ok. Tried to run one of my scripts that has a use DBI in it and got:
Can't locate DBI.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.0/mips-linux /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.0
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/mips-linux /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl .) at
/home/sites/site3/web/index.cgi line 5.

So I ran CPAN and told it to install DBI. All seemed fine until the tests. Here's what it spat back:
