That tarball you got from cpan won't work with the DBI.ppd file. The DBI.ppd
is looking for a file called DBI.tar.gz that contains something entirely
different. If DBI.ppd came with the distribution, then I would expect that
the distribution also contained the x86/DBI.tar.gz that it needs.
If you can't locate the DBI.tar.gz that your current DBI.ppd needs, then
download this DBI.tar.gz:
http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppmpackages/x86/DBI.tar.gz
and try the following as your DBI.ppd file :
<SOFTPKG NAME="DBI" VERSION="1,43,0,0">
<TITLE>DBI</TITLE>
<ABSTRACT>Database independent interface for Perl</ABSTRACT>
<AUTHOR>Tim Bunce <dbi-users@xxxxxxxx></AUTHOR>
<IMPLEMENTATION>
<OS NAME="MSWin32" />
<ARCHITECTURE NAME="MSWin32-x86-multi-thread" />
<CODEBASE HREF="x86/DBI.tar.gz" />
</IMPLEMENTATION>
</SOFTPKG>
That way you get a more up-to-date version.

If you have ActiveState perl then it should come already-configured. (At
least it will be configured well enough to do the basic sort of stuff that
you are attempting.) Or have you tried to build ppm yourself ?
