Check your server error log. The proper error message must be there.
My guess is that @INC is different when run from the command line and in
a CGI script, and that DBI resides in a location that isn't in @INC the
second time.
Or, one of your required DBI related files is set to a file permission
so the CGI script, running as "nobody", isn't allowed access to it.
