Successful 5.6.1 install on OS X; no DBI, HTTP::Date

I've successfully installed perl-5.6.1 on OS X 10.1.2 using the method
described here:

  http://archive.develooper.com/macosx@perl.org/msg00895.html

But DBI and HTTP::Date through the CPAN shell are 'no go', as yet. Here's
the last of the DBI messages:
