You did it yourself, see below.

Ah!  This will also create that port.  I didn't know that DB_File is
part of the Berkeley-DB distribution.

So there are many ways to get at DB_File:

* It is included in Perl itself.
  (Perhaps you have to install the db41 port first, and then the Perl
  port.)

* perl -MCPAN -e shell

* Do like you did.

This is all quite confusing.
