Hello, I have a small-but-weird problem. When I install the 0.34 release of DBD::File via CPAN it seems to make/test/install properly but... it just doesn't stick. The installation seems to stay at 0.33. I also get when I download directly and do the make/test/install myself. Here's the session to show what I mean. Any ideas what might be going on? This is Perl 5.8.7 on AIX 5.2.0.0
