Wow, hold it! You @INC paths most certainly point towards the fact that
the script is running on a 5.005 perl. Yet *this* perl says it's 5.6.1.
Note that perl5.005 and 5.6 are (most likely) not binary compatible, so
you can't just use the same installed module on both versions of Perl.
If you want to use DBI for both, you'll have to install DBI on both, as
you would have to do for any other XS based module.
