You're totally right... I feel so stupid, because i was checking in:

/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.1
[download]

in which it does appear a folder called i386-multi.. etc., but not in:

/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.1
[download]

in which it appears a file called the same way, exactly as you said. I think you guys just found a bug in Perl in Mandrake 9.2.

I just finished installing DBD::InterBase manually and works beautifully. THANKS A LOT!!!. =)
