The DBI module includes DBD::File. However, DBD::File is a separate CPAN module. Further, DBI just released a new version with DBD::File v0.33 even though the standalone DBD::File module is at v0.34. Finally, DBI installs DBD::File in a different location from DBD::File such that even if you install the newer version of DBD::File it is 'masked' by the older version installed by DBI. I would urge that DBD::File be removed from the DBI module, and if needed just be a prequisite to it.
Thanks. DBI 1.52 contains an updated DBD::File - which seems to be the best of the available choices of actions.
