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.

Subject: DB_File module on perl-5.8.7
Hi,
I''m using perl-5.8.7 on Z/OS.
The testcase i'm runing is
# Use the DBM module.
use DB_File;
$database="dbtest.db";
if ( ! ( tie %DBFILE, 'DB_File', $database, O_RDWR|O_CREAT, 0600,
$DB_HASH ) )
{
print "Could not open (\"tie\") message database file
\"$database\".\n";
exit(1);
}
$DBFILE{'record1'}="One line of data";
untie(%DBFILE);
I'm getting this error
Can't locate DB_File.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /u/isldev1/GM/perl-

So i searched for DB_File.pm and found it in ext/DB_File/DB_File.pm,
i copied this file to lib and ran the the test again

Can't load module DB_File, dynamic loading not available in this perl.
(You may need to build a new perl executable which either supports
dynamic loading or has the DB_File module statically linked into it.)
at /u/opensrc/perl/dbtest.pl line 4
Compilation failed in require at /u/opensrc/perl/dbtest.pl line 4.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /u/opensrc/perl/dbtest.pl line 4.
The perl has been build statically on my machine.
How to resolve this problem?
Is there any prerequisites has to be satisfied for building DB_File
module like any library should be available on the machine.
