Options:
1. Reinstall all the perl modules. In the future, you can use the
CPAN "autobundle" feature to create a list of installed perl
modules, then install said bundle on the new perl to bring in all
the extra modules from CPAN that you like after upgrading perl.
Run "perldoc CPAN" for more info.
Or, you can maintain a list of stuff to install-- this is mainly
useful when installing perl modules on systems you do not want
CPAN upgrading perl on behind your back.

2. Diddle with the Configure steps to perl when compiling 5.6.1,
which allows one to build a new perl that is backwards compatible
with the old 5.005 modules. Good if you have non-standard modules
that are a hassle (or impossible) to upgrade.

Missing system ndbm include/libraries, or maybe the "wrong" version of
ndbm is installed?
