Re: DBI package problem?

Uploaded a package to CPAN with
 - a test that fails when DBI is not installed, and
 - a Build.PL which does not indicate that DBI is a requirement (even
though it is).

You would be missing the point.

(The point being not to pour lots of work into making the C version
work everywhere, but to make it just *possible* to install only the
PurePerl version on the <1% of systems where the C version cannot be
made to work or other reasons motivate the use of the PurePerl
version.)
