I confirm install v. 4.x seems to be required. Here is the "almost":

Now  bin/install-slashsite is failing. Basically, the trace deals with
all perl Slash/DB files.
	=> I tracked that DB.pm gets driver name '0' instead of 'mysql'; I
hardcoded it, so that I could install completely.
	=> Now my slash site is running, except slashd fails to start
(complains about its inability to connect to the DB)

I feel a lot of pain using DBIx::Password. I happen to be stupid, and
the configuration dialog of DBIx:Password is really cryptic to me
(besides, I don't understand the need for this module, anyway). 
It installs ok and all, but Slash seems to be unable to connect. (I am
not networking anything, and I install as root. Older Slash codes run
ok).

Has someone a foolproof guide to DBIx:Password ?
