I see that the instruction seem to expect that the DBI module is already installed,
which or may not be the case on your machine.
1. try perl -e "use DBI;"
If even this doesn't work, then DBI hasn't been installed properly
2. Show all the installed drivers:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
### Load DBI
use DBI;
### Probe DBI for the installed drivers
@drivers = DBI->available_drivers();
### Iterate through the drivers and list the data
### sources for each one
foreach $driver ( @drivers ) {
print "Driver: $driver\n";
@dataSources = DBI->data_sources( $driver );
foreach $dataSource ( @dataSources ) {
print "\tData Source is $dataSource\n";
}
print "\n";
}
exit;
If there isn't
Driver: ODBC
among the output, then the ODBC driver isn't installed properly.

No, when you're using DBD::ODBC, then the files mentioned in older documentation are
no longer relevant.
