  I notice that both the above named modules are currently marked as
broken for FreeBSD 3.

  Is it the case that DBI is broken *because* it depends on pRPC, or
does it have problems of it's own?

  After quite a search on the FreeBSD site I was unable to get any
info on what may be wrong with the modules, or any idea of the
time-span for a fix.  I should add that I am a total beginner at
Perl, and these modules are 'required' by a package that I have
been asked to install for a demonstration.

  Regards,
      Harry.
