the DBI is perl moudle for mysql connector . there are some errors to compile DBI in Solaris 10 SPARC
bash-3.2# perl Makefile.PL *** Note: The optional PlRPC-modules (RPC::PlServer etc) are not installed. If you want to use the DBD::Proxy driver and DBI::ProxyServer modules, then you'll need to install the RPC::PlServer, RPC::PlClient, Storable and Net::Daemon modules. The CPAN Bundle::DBI may help you. You can install them any time after installing the DBI. You do *not* need these modules for typical DBI usage. Optional modules are available from any CPAN mirror, in particular http://search.cpan.org/ http://www.perl.com/CPAN/modules/by-module http://www.perl.org/CPAN/modules/by-module ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/languages/perl/CPAN/modules/by-module Creating DBI::PurePerl test variant: t/zvpp_01basics.t Creating DBI::PurePerl test variant: t/zvpp_02dbidrv.t Creating DBI::PurePerl test variant: t/zvpp_03handle.t Creating DBI::PurePerl test variant: t/zvpp_04mods.t Creating DBI::PurePerl test variant: t/zvpp_05thrclone.t Creating DBI::PurePerl test variant: t/zvpp_06attrs.t Creating DBI::PurePerl test variant: t/zvpp_07kids.t Creating DBI::PurePerl test variant: t/zvpp_08keeperr.t Creating DBI::PurePerl test variant: t/zvpp_09trace.t Creating DBI::PurePerl test variant: t/zvpp_10examp.t Creating DBI::PurePerl test variant: t/zvpp_11fetch.t Creating DBI::PurePerl test variant: t/zvpp_14utf8.t Creating DBI::PurePerl test variant: t/zvpp_15array.t Creating DBI::PurePerl test variant: t/zvpp_20meta.t Creating DBI::PurePerl test variant: t/zvpp_30subclass.t Creating DBI::PurePerl test variant: t/zvpp_40profile.t Creating DBI::PurePerl test variant: t/zvpp_41prof_dump.t Creating DBI::PurePerl test variant: t/zvpp_42prof_data.t Creating DBI::PurePerl test variant: t/zvpp_43profenv.t Creating DBI::PurePerl test variant: t/zvpp_50dbm.t Creating DBI::PurePerl test variant: t/zvpp_60preparse.t Creating DBI::PurePerl test variant: t/zvpp_70callbacks.t Creating DBI::PurePerl test variant: t/zvpp_72childhandles.t Creating DBI::PurePerl test variant: t/zvpp_80proxy.t Checking if your kit is complete... Looks good I see you're using perl 5.008004 on sun4-solaris-64int, okay. Remember to actually *read* the README file! Use 'make' to build the software (dmake or nmake on Windows). Then 'make test' to execute self tests. Then 'make install' to install the DBI and then delete this working directory before unpacking and building any DBD::* drivers.
