Of course ! Perl 5.004 is perl5 and perl-5.005 is perl5. Check the version number ! :-) The problem with DB::FIle is not at all the reason for having perl-5.004 and perl-5.005. The reason is that perl binary modules work only with the perl version they have been compiled with (so they have to depend on a specific perl).
