While Perl5.6 supports dynamic loading, you may not have compiled it to do
so. Either recompile your perl5.6 to allow dynamic loading or recompile the
DBI as static. You didn't mention an OS, but some don't support dynamic
loading regardless of what perl does. (What DBD you're trying to compile
would also be nice to know)
