Indeed. Although I'll be the first to cheer when 5.005_03 finally
disappears, I don't think this is the way to force people to upgrade
their perl on 4.x.
If we want to go forward with 1.38, this commit at least also should
have marked this port IGNORE for lower perl versions, thus breaking all
ports depending on DBI for lower perl versions.

This new version also puts us between a rock and a hard place. The new
version breaks too much, but we can't pretend it isn't there and stay
with the old version.
