Version 3.0.2 is the first version which uses the somewhat annoying version
module.

Three options:

1. Change the Class::DBI source code from 

use version; $VERSION = qv('3.0.14');

to

use vars qw($VERSION);
$VERSION = '3.0.14';

and see if it passes all tests. It should, I hope. If it does, you should be
safe to install and use.

2. Upgrade to a recent version of Perl.

3. Install Class::DBI 3.0.2.

Personally, I would go with option #1.

Hope this helps,
Ed
