I wanted to build an awesome place for people to discuss module specific issues, but I don't have any more time for this, and there are much better places to discuss Perl-related issues. I'd recommend asking your question on Stack Overflow or on Perl Monks.
If you are looking for a Perl tutorial or Perl-related news, I hope these links will serve you well.

Re: DBI Module of Perl in Unix

Looks like your Test::Harness is broken. Although this is a core module, it is being actively enhanced and maintained, so I would try getting and installing the latest version off CPAN. But you might be getting more serious problems with other core modules and the 5.6.0 build.

Another possibility is a problem with something in your @INC path - directories, permissions and the like. Can you see a Test/Harness/Straps.pm anywhere there?

perl 5.6.0 is quite old now; it's also quite buggy from what I remember. Release 5.6.1 fixed most of the bugs, and is quite stable. There are further point releases in the 5.6 scheme, but don't contain anything major after 5.6.1.

If you are looking to build a new perl, I recommend going to the latest 5.8.x release, which is 5.8.6 - November 2004.
