Errors while trying to install DBI

Hello. I'm trying to use CPAN to download the DBI module from the Mac
Porters site and I am receiving a number of errors that I cannot figure out.
The list of errors:

Going to read HardDisk:MacPerl:.cpan:sources:modules:03modlist.data.gz
Running make for CNANDOR/DBI-1.08-bin-2-MacOS.tar.gz
CPAN: MD5 loaded ok
Checksum for
HardDisk:MacPerl:.cpan:sources:authors:id:CNANDOR:DBI-1.08-bin-2-MacOS.tar.g
z ok
CPAN: Archive::Tar loaded ok
# Use of uninitialized value.
File 'HardDisk:MacPerl:site_perl:Net:Cwd.pm'; Line 61 (repeats 5 times)

# Can't locate Mac/Conversions.pm in @INC
File 'HardDisk:MacPerl:site_perl:ExUtils:MM_MacOS.pm'; Line 1014

The line from Cwd.pm is:

59	sub _backtick_pwd {
60	  my $cwd;
61	  chop($cwd = 'pwd');  <----
62	  $cwd;
63	}

The line from MM_MacOS.pm is:

1013	sub convert_files {
1014	  require Mac::Conversions; <--- where do I get this?
1015	  require Mac::InternetConfig;
1016	  Mac::InternetConfig->import;

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks for reading this far!
