DBI would not install in Perl 5.6.1 without Time::HiRes. Is that an 
additional dependency?

Currently, if you don't have the right versions of both these, you get:
Bugzilla requires some Perl modules which are either missing from your
system, or the version on your system is too old.
They can be installed by running (as root) the following:
    perl -MCPAN -e 'install "DBD::mysql"'
    Minimum version required: 2.1010
    perl -MCPAN -e 'install "DBI"'
    Minimum version required: 1.32

If DBI should be installed before DBD, should we reverse the order of 
these messages?
