1. I tried installing DBI via CPAN using all the defaults.
2. It complained "You have no /u/ricew/.cpan/sources/MIRRORED.BY
                 I'm trying to fetch one
                   Please install Net::FTP asap.
                     CPAN.pm installs this--just type 'install
Bundle::libnet'"
3. I tried the 'install Bundle::libnet' but it said 
   "Can't install Bundle::libnet, don't have an associated bundle file. :-(
    at /usr/opt/perl5/lib/5.00503/CPAN.pm line 1717"

Question:
  How can I install this 'Net::FTP'?

Maybe I've missed something... but I'd recommend not using a tarball
directly and just use the CPAN module to install it:

perl -MCPAN -e "install 'DBI'"
perl -MCPAN -e "install 'DBD::Sybase'"
perl -MCPAN -e "install 'DBD::Oracle'"

assuming you have a standard setup on your box, you can probably just
select the defaults for everything and let CPAN.pm do all the dirty work.
This is pretty much the same way PPM works with ActiveState.

HTH,
Curt
