I know if you install EE there is a perl binary distribution buried
down in there that I have used before. DBI/DBD was already compiled
and available so it made it pretty easy. Update your PATH setting and
point your #!/bin/perl line to the correct binary and it works. Just
don't expect to customize with any of your own packages, best to just
leave it alone in my experience.
If you don't have an EE installation around I have become pretty good
at installing the Strawberry Perl distribution on Windows workstations
where I need Perl and DBI. Works out good because you don't even need
Admin rights. I documented the procedure I use here, have confirmed it
works on 32-bit WIndows but haven't tried on 64-bit yet:
