If you have ActivePerl there is a utility called PPM. Go to your command prompt and type in: ppm install name_of_module
Replace name_of_module above with the name of the dbi module you're told is missing. This will automatically install any needed perl mod.

Sorry, forgot to answer question one. Perl is independant of the webserver. Apache is not required.

Search your machine for a file called ppm.bat
If you find it, change to that directory at the command prompt and try running it from there.
