DBI not installed on sever.

All I need in order to get DBI working on the server is the DBI.pm module.....I am going to download it and install it manually.....I just want to be sure that this is all I need.

my script would look somhting like this: 

#!/usr/bin/perl

use lib 'home/public_html/';
use DBI;
use CGI;

$q = new CGI;

...................................................

[download]
Doesn't work.....

This doesn't work either: 

#!/usr/bin/perl


use lib 'C:\Accounts\mysite\wwwRoot';
use DBI;
use DBD::Mysql;

use CGI;
...............etc.

[download]
Still does not work.

The webhost doesn't have it installed, so I'm forced to incorporate it with my normal files......Can someone please help me do this so it works?? I keep getting errors like this: 

"Can't locate object method "connect" via package "DBI" (perhaps you f
+orgot to load "DBI"?)"
