Two notes:
- DBI contains *.xs files (which contain C code) so
grabbing a version of "make" won't do you much good unless
you also have a C compiler (which probably comes with a
version of "make" anyway).
- You don't have to have an ActiveState distribution
of Perl to use PPM. For example, Perl from
indigostar supports the same
PPM format and even comes with a GUI package manager, as
well as a less-restrictive license, a less opaque
installation procedure (which is a disadvantage if you
wanted a standard GUI install process), and a web server.
