    Installing some database-related modules (such as DBD::Pg) under macos 10.13.x
    (High Sierra) will be problematic because Apple is shipping a bad berkeley-db
    with this OS. If you see installation issues mentioning DB_File, you've hit
    this problem.

    To fix, do these commands in a new shell, in the directory where you are
    trying to do the module installation (so as to not pollute your existing
    environment):

    sudo port install db48 # you may have this already, e.g. via python27
    eval $(perl -Mlocal::lib='local/lib/perl5')
    cpanm --look DB_File

    You're now in another subshell. Edit config.in to add these two lines,
    replacing the existing INCLUDE and LIB lines:

    INCLUDE = /opt/local/include/db48
    LIB = /opt/local/lib/db48

    Then execute `perl Makefile.PL && make install` and close this shell.
