You can just use 
perl -MCPAN -e "install DBI::DBI"

I think that's the syntax, or you can go to
http://www.cpan.org/modules/by-module/DBI snag DBI-1.13.tar.gz
tar zxf DBI-1.13.tar.gz
cd DBI-1.13
./Makefile.pl
make
make test
make install

u r done.

But to be able to access mysql+msql you need to have that module as well.
