It would appear that your perl library routine called perldb.pl is not
installed where perl can find it.  Did you ever do a make install?
Did it get any errors?

The place it wants to put them is defined in config.sh by the privlib
variable.  This in turn sets the value of the PRIVLIB symbol to perl, which is
shoved into the @INC array as part of the path to search for perl libraries.

Admittedly, the error message could be better.  >>patch9
