A:
If you have access to from your server install the DBI directory from CPAN
On linux,
# perl -MCPAN -e shell
cpan> install DBI
The another way is to download the full bundle from CPAN and install:
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install

If you use the cpan command with an argument, it puts you into the shell. However, you can just use "cpan DBI" to do the same thing you showed. However, in your second example doesn't handle dependencies.

A:
Using your OS's package manager when possible is a much better strategy than building modules by hand unless you are using a custom built perl.
