in reply to Old DBI versions require Perl 5.8.1?

If you really do need to use perl 5.6.1, then try using CP5.6.1AN. That will only give you versions of distributions that have passed their tests on perl 5.6.1.

You may still have trouble building some of them though, as third-party libraries that they depend on, header files, and even compilers may no longer be compatible with such ancient code.
