DB_File is just an interface to the Berkeley DB C library. On Unix boxes this library is usually called something like libdb.a or libdb.so. So the first step is to determine if you have a copy of Berkeley DB on your system. I don't know offhand whether Berkeley DB works with Z/OS.
Assuming Berkeley DB is available, then copying DB_File.pm by hand is not enough to get DB_File to work - it needs to built.
