Have you tried to install DB_File from your linux distribution with e.g. rpm or apt instaed of using cpan? If you have apt installed, you can find the package by executing the command: apt-cache search DB_File

That's because you are in a directory that has been deleted in the meantime. Nothing to worry. You are on Mandriva? Have you tried urpmi? I think with Code: urpmi -y <search term> you can search for packages, and with Code: urpmi <package name> you can install a package.
If anyone else gets this error, all you have to do is to "clean" the package before you try to install it again clean DB_File install DB_File
