Well, it doesn't seem like that DBI installation is even doing
anything.  But yes, you should remove it, just to get rid of
the clutter.  I would just run this:

rm -r /root/perl5

Then install DBI and DBD-mysql from your distro's packaging system.
They'll be put in the correct place (one of the perl locations under
/usr/share or /usr/lib), and then spamassassin and the others will be
able to use them.
