In the meantime, I have zipped up all the relevant files that I can find 
in my Windows 5.8.7 version of activestate and you can get it here:

http://www.dxcluster.org/download/DB_File.zip

Make sure you unpack it from C:\ as it has all the files in the "right" 
places.

I have no idea whether it will work. It is for IA32 only and should be 
compatible with any 5.8.x perl.

Please try it and tell me how you got on.

I DO NOT RECOMMEND 5.6.x perls on any architecture.
