I've seen this problem with several perl modules, not just DBI. I was
told on another list that it has something to do with RH9's utf-8
support clashing with perl or something. They gave me a simple fix, and
it has worked for me, but don't ask me why.

First, don't use the CPAN shell, download the tarball and unpack it.
Change into the directory and run the following commands:

> LANG=
> export LANG
> perl Makefile.PL
> make
> make install

That should work.
