The pre-built Perl 5.6.1 kit available here includes DBI: http://www.sidhe.org/vmsperl/prebuilt.html It is possible to build DBI yourself, but dependiing on Perl version, DBI version, and some other variables, it can be a real headache because DBI uses a highly customized build procedure wherein many things can go wrong. The vmsperl mailing list archive includes quite a bit of discussion of this problem: http://www.xray.mpe.mpg.de/mailing-lists/vmsperl/ You'll also, of course, need a DBD module that is specific to your database, and you'll probably have to build that yourself.
