I talked to Active State this morning about their Perl Repository, as their copy of DBI is out of date.
Their response was "...modules are added based on input from our Perl Direct customers specifically and our customer base at large, but we don't add modules on request, per se, unless it's part of a service contract."
FWIW, they said their copy of DBI should be updated soon.
Too bad CPAN.pm isn't as friendly as PPM :) As was pointed out earlier, installing CPAN modules manually isn't terribly difficult. However, "... laziness ..."

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
