Yes you can, but it appears that the above script is specifying the
location of the DBI source, not the installation directory. You only
need to specify PERL5LIB if you are installing in a non-standard place
using PREFIX or similar incantation when building and installing. If
you follow the standard ``perl Makefile.PL && make && make test &&
make install'', then there is no need to set PERL5LIB.
