Depending on what operating system you're running, you may be able to
download modules either in the form of packages (for example, RedHat
Linux supports this through 'rpm') or as gzipped tar files.  We use
RedHat but I installed both DBI and DBD::Oracle without using .rpm files.
It's often easier to get the latest versions of software in .tar.gz, which
is the main reason for doing this.

Anyway, the best place to look for any Perl module is the site CPAN.org;
all kinds of Perl modules are indexed there, and there's a good search
interface.  Here are the DBI and DBD modules in .tar.gz form:
