RE: DB_File module on perl-5.8.7

DB_File is just an interface to the Berkeley DB C library. On Unix boxes
this library is usually called something like libdb.a or libdb.so. So the
first step is to determine if you have a copy of Berkeley DB on your system.
I don't know offhand whether Berkeley DB works with Z/OS.

Assuming Berkeley DB is available, then copying DB_File.pm by hand is not
enough to get DB_File to work - it needs to built.
