May I ask how you installed this, I believe you said via CPAN?  Did you
install it using your user account or by using root or sudo?  I am
trying to reproduce your error using a clean install of Ubuntu 8.10 and
am unable to reproduce anything so far.  Try to do the following:

zurawski@clean-ubuntu:~$
 find /usr | grep XMLDB

The results should show something similar to:

/usr/local/lib/perl/5.10.0/auto/perfSONAR_PS/DB/XMLDB
/usr/local/lib/perl/5.10.0/auto/perfSONAR_PS/DB/XMLDB/.packlist
/usr/local/share/man/man3/perfSONAR_PS::DB::XMLDB.3pm
/usr/local/share/perl/5.10.0/perfSONAR_PS/DB/XMLDB.pm

If not I would suspect that the installation did not complete, or it has
installed things in a non standard location.  Also: did you try
installing the new package as Aaron suggested?  That is much newer code
and may solve this issue.

Thanks;
