Storable is marked as a prerequisite in Makefile.PL and META.yml.
I think that's sufficient, especially as only very old perl's are
affected. Thanks for the reminder though.

Only used by t/pod.t and should be skipped cleanly if not installed.

Thanks!
Could you look into the t/40profile.t failure for 5.6.2 some more:
t/40profile..............dubious
Test returned status 9 (wstat 2304, 0x900)
DIED. FAILED tests 6-8, 26, 31, 35-36, 38-39
Failed 9/45 tests, 80.00% okay
(upgrading Test::More and/or running the test verbosely may give better
diagnostics.)

"Seem"? Could you recheck 1.52 and 1.51 for me?

Is libpthread the normal choice on freebsd 7?
(I presume so from your Config command line.)

Given that
- the pure-perl tests also failed
- freebsd has a history of threading issues
- no one else has reported these failures
- my own tests with a threaded perl don't fail
- http://cpantesters.perl.org/show/DBI.html#DBI-1.52 shows several
freebsd variants (threads/64bit) passed - though most were freebsd 5.x
I think this may be a local perl/FreeBSD-7 issue rather than a DBI issue.
So, yes, it would be great if you could rerun these tests on SunOS
and/or netbsd.
Thanks Philip!
Tim.
