If Perldoc is broken on your system and you don't have root access, you might install Perl / DBI / MySQL on a system where you do have access.

Installing this stuff yourself is time consuming. It might be worth the time to have access to the documentation and to have a reference system that isn't broken.

It might not be worth the time to install MySQ at home, but ActiveState installs quickly. PPM gets wanted modules easier than CPAN... (Though ActiveState.com doesn't seem to be reachable from my current time and location)
