I don't know much about ActiveState Perl but it looks as though something is going wrong obtaining the DBI package from ActiveState. When I use that URL it prompts for a password for the "ActiveState Business Edition". Guess you need to talk to ActiveState or someone in your organisation that knows about your ActiveState license/support or perhaps it is something really simple like your proxy settings are not correct.
