Problem installing DBI solved

Just to let you know that I have found the problem with DBI not  
installing on Fedora (and other) systems.
The /usr/lib/rpm/perl.req is far too keen to find Perl dependencies  
where there are none.
So I replace it with an "exit 0;" script and save the original, which  
is replaced at the end of the script.
It doesn't matter too much if you lose perl.req, it's pretty useless  
anyway as it works very badly.

This will be in the next release.

For now, just use CPAN which doesn't suffer this problem, or use "-- 
nodeps" which will force it to work. It shouldn't do any harm.
