My patch introduces the problem.
http://mova.org/~cheusov/pub/pkgsrc-distbb/Linux/current/logs/20091016.2105/net_p5-Net-LibIDN_p5-Net-LibIDN-0.12/stage_configure.html

After some thoughts I came to a conclusion that it is better to revert my
original proposal and to *remove* DB_File extension from perl on all
platforms including NetBSD. In this case perl will become lighter and
packages requering DB_Fill (e.g. ikiwiki) should depend on
databases/p5-DB_File.
