Hi Tim, thanks for the answer.
That's bad - I can't do anything about the perl version as I am not working on my own maschine :-( Is there any older version of the DBI-Module that works with my perl version? I thought the version 1.201 should work as the Makefile.PL requires only perl version 5.004.
