As I've been trying to resolve all these module conflicts, I noticed
something.  When I do a manual "ppm install" of a ppd, ppm does not
take into account modules in the default install when resolving
dependencies.  Therefore, even though 5.10 comes with DBI 1.601, PPM
doesn't see it when installing DBD-ODBC.  Hm.
