If you're going to put DBI::PurePerl into the perl distribution then you might as well put the whole DBI there. It's not very big. Then there's the whole issue of which drivers to include or not. I think the Software Development Kit (SDK) approach has more appeal: Define a standard bundle of extra modules that people are recommended to install with Perl. There was an attempt at an defining an SDK for Perl some time ago but it seemed to flounder.) [CC'd to perl5-porters to see if there's any life in the SDK concept] Tim.
