<plea>
I don't ever use windows as a platform for my work, and I don't have
regular access to a windows machine.  It would be really great if someone
who was a windows user could volunteer to help out here.  This would mean
looking at the warnings and tinkering with the module code or tests to see
what fixes the problems.  Until someone is able to provide this
support we probably won't be able to track down the problems very
effectively.  </plea>

A quick note - are you sure you have the latest DB_File installed - the
one that shipped with the default ActiveState seems to be more
problematic.  This is likely the cause of many of the errors - we can't do
anything if the windows implemenation of DB_File doesn't work.  The
warnings about not having the proper modules installed to run the tests is
exactly what you are supposed to see.  To test out an individual
test you need to run it by hand.

% perl -I. -w t/testname.t

The consed test does not run consed it tests output files from consed.
