Did you use perlbrew (http://perlbrew.pl/) or use the defaults? Do you have to use a perl version that's over six years old? http://matrix.cpantesters.org/?dist=DBI%201.622;maxver=1 shows the last report for DBI from a cpan tester on AIX was for 1.609 And http://matrix.cpantesters.org/?dist=DBI%201.609;reports=1;os=aix shows only 1 pass and two fails, and those were for perl 5.10.1 (the pass report looks like it's for a 64-bit system).
