Unfortunately, this does indeed seem to be the case and I can't rebuild perl without 
jeopardizing our primary system

Thanks for all of the suggestions,

Rob

As others have pointed out, you need a C compiler to install some modules.

However, I'm pretty sure you can't just "grab gcc" and start installing DBI.
You need to build modules with the same compiler that Perl was built with.
If you don't have that compiler, best be would be to a) get gcc, b) rebuild
Perl itself with gcc, c) then build DBI and other modules.

I may be wrong about this, so somebody correct me if I am.
