OK. Hmm, just tried that - no joy.

After a moment's hesitation about how bad I was going to screw this 
up, I decided to open the Makefile.PL and see what it was looking 
for. I changed the UNIX directories to Mac format in these lines ...

foreach $dir (@INC) {
     if (-f "$dir/auto/DBI/DBIXS.h") {
	$DBI_INC_DIR = "-I$dir/auto/DBI";
	last;
     }
}

... and it installed. So, did I screw something up? If not, is it 
appropriate to pass the comments directly to the contact info (Jochen 
Wiedmann) from the README? Just trying to do the right thing.
