I found the following entry for DBI at the Active state 5.8 repository: 

   52. ActiveState Package Repository 
       [http://ppm.ActiveState.com/PPM/ppmserver-5.8-windows.plex?
       urn:/PPM/Server/SQL] DBI  [1.50]

What repositories do you currently have configured in PPM? Use rep at the ppm prompt to list your current repositories and the rep describe n to see their urls. Eg. 

ppm> rep
Repositories:
[1] Jenda
[2] ActiveState Package Repository
[3] Roth
[4] JMC
[5] PTK
[6] rto
[7] OpenInteract
[8] GA
[9] Crazy
[ ] dada
[ ] Theory

ppm> rep describe 2
Describing Active Repository 2:
    Name: ActiveState Package Repository
Location: http://ppm.ActiveState.com/PPM/ppmserver-5.8-windows.plex?ur
+n:/PPM/Server/SQL

(Gosh darn I wish they'd just list the whole information in the first place instead of forcing you to describe each one individually!)

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
Lingua non convalesco, consenesco et abolesco. -- Rule 1 has a caveat! -- Who broke the cabal?
"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".
In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
