OK, I'll put it into the INSTALL requirements.

Sounds like the right thing to do -- unless it is a PLATFORM thing. 
I'd say it is a platform issue if it comes with perl on most 
platforms except for some. I don't know where DB_File falls here.

In case of doubt, however, I'd put it into INSTALL requirements.
