The DBI module has large chunks of C code in it that are accessed from perl 
space so that DBDs can glue in C/C++ database client libraries.

If you grab bloodshed dev-c++, install that, add C:\dev-c++\bin or whatever 
the path ends up being to your DOS PATH env, grab nmake from microsoft, unpack 
it somewhere and add that to your PATH as well, CPAN.pm will be able to 
compile the glue code stuff - including DBI.
