The test for weak reference support doesn't work properly with early version of perl 5.8.x. (Fixed for the next DBI release.) > I really have no idea how to proceed from this point. Any ideas? Since that's the only failure and, I presume you don't want to use both the ChildHandle attribute and DBI::PurePerl, you can go ahead and force the installation (using "force install DBI" in the cpan shell).
