dru, My first thought is that the modules you're trying to install are part of the base package and don't need to be installed. What happens if you do the following:
perl -e "use DBI;use Data::Dumper;" If the answer is "nothing", then you they should be in place. If that is the case, maybe you need to do an update instead, or a remove before the install.
