Where is your db.h file located? I ask this because the DB_File config.in
file, IIRC, defaults to /usr/local/BerkeleyDB/include and
/usr/local/BerkeleyDB/lib. This is not appropriate for many installations
and you may have to install that package manually by editing the config.in
to point to the correct place. For instance, in my case I have to point to
/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.3/include and /usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.3/lib because
I have several versions and even when I modify the DBNAME = line in
config.in the damn test programs find the .h file of one version and the
libdb*.a of another.
You may simply have to uncommnet one of the /usr/include or
/usr/local/include and lib entries.

If cpan -i DB_File also fails try:

cpan
cpan> look DB_File
which will drop you into a shell in the correct build directory. then edit
the config.in so the paths (at the top) match the location of your db.h and
libdb*.a files. then save and run

perl Makefile.PL

if no errors then

make && make test && make install (which says run make and if no errors then
run make test, if no error make install)
