greetings,
while testing one of our CPANPLUS releases, i found the following issue with
the latest DBI version (1.21).
It was a 5.005_03 install of perl, where we encountered the following result
from 'make test':
(everything up untill then had gone ok):

from the dbi-1.21 test suite
(more accurately t/preparse.t):
#!perl -w
use DBI qw(:preparse_flags);
use Devel::Peek 'Dump';
Since the only uses of 'Dump' i find are commented out:
# Dump ($result);
# Dump ($expected);
I assume that you just forgot to remove the 'use' line
if not, then it probably needs a 'require 5.6' since, Devel::Peek is a
module that, according to Module::CoreList only got added to the perl
release as of 5.6.0:
[root@sammy root]# perl -MModule::CoreList -le"print
Module::CoreList->first_release('Devel::Peek')"
5.006
Just in case my analysis is off, below is a summary of my perl -V
