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

urpmi -y <search term>

you can search for packages, and with

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
