Where can I find the GDBM_File/DB_File module?

The GDBM_File module comes standard with Perl 5. The problem you are most likely to be having is that your system (or the system your binary distribution was built on in the case you are not using the source code distribution but instead relying on a prebuilt binary installation kit) does not have the external library called libgdbm, or GNU DBM. The GDBM_File module needs that to be built, installed, and used. The library has nothing to do with Perl as such. You can try hunting for it using the standard software repositories for your platform or http://www.gnu.org/ If you are looking for DB_File, every time it says GDBM think of DB, GDBM_File needs an external library called libdb, or Berkeley DB. You might try http://www.sleepycat.com who distributes the Berkeley DB source code.
