Two notes:

  1. 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).
  2. 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.
