Does ActivePerl come with DBI inbuilt?

Hello everyone
Thanks for the help, I have been getting from you all.
I have a small doubt and that is , Does ActiveState Perl come with DBI preinstalled ????
if yes then I only need to download DBD::oracle
I have been using Perl 5.8.2 and to establish a connection betwenn Perl and oracle I tried downloading DBD::Oracle but I got an error message like

Error: No Valid reposatories
Error: 500 cant connect to ppm.activestate.com:80<connect: unknown error>

what kind of error is this ?
Any help is gretly appriciated
Thanks in an advanced

Are you behind a firewall? Do you have a proxy that you must go through to get access to the web? The ppm application may need to be told about your proxies before it will be able to access the package repositories.

Did you get your proxy set up so it allowed PPM to access the repositories?
