Yes, but ...

this line orginates from cpan's processing of this block (line 6+) from
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.6/DBIx/DBSchema/DBD/Pg.pm:

die "DBD::Pg version 1.32 or 1.41 (or later) required--".
    "this is only version $DBD::Pg::VERSION\n"
  if $DBD::Pg::VERSION != 1.32 && $DBD::Pg::VERSION < 1.41;

The do { if ...; }; definitely is invalid Perl, but I don't see what's wrong
with the original code from Pg.pm above.

FE provides this module, c.f.
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/extras/4/i386/perl-DBIx-DBSchema-0.28-1.fc4.noarch.rpm

I am its maintainer - This PR is part of investigating on what's wrong with it.
