I installed DBI on a raspberry Pi ages ago. See bottom of 
http://www.martin-evans.me.uk/node/142 and 
http://www.martin-evans.me.uk/node/144

I had some problems running out of memory  (from the above post):

BTW, I tried to install Perl DBI (which does not have many dependencies) 
with cpanp and after 13 minutes it died with the signal 'Killed' - hmm. 
I've not investigated further yet - but I had plenty of disk space left 
on a 4gb card.
*UPDATE:* It appears I had some problems with my sd card - switched to 
another one and the machine seems faster but cpanp still bombs out as 
before - trying cpanminus.
*UPDATE2:* ilmari suggested cpanp might be a big memory user so I 
installed cpanm and managed to install DBI - although the test suite 
took over 60 minutes to run.

Doesn't cpanm have a verbose mode.
