The test failures are due to instability in your system clock and are not related to the DBI. You can install it - but be aware that profile timings will be affected by the system clock.

The system clock is set by ntpdate (last set this morning), so it is accuate.

Profiling uses dbi_time() and dbi_time uses the gettimeofday() system call and the problem you report would only happen if gettimeofday() goes backwards. All other cases of this type have been due to clock problems on the host. I'm closing the ticket. Replying will re-open it, but please don't do that unless you can clearly show there's a bug in the DBI. Thanks!
