The easiest way to see if they are on your system is just to try to use them:
perl -e "use DBI"
perl -e "use DBD::mysql"
If you get "Can't locate ..." errors, you haven't got them.
If you need to install perl modules, consider doing this within the
context of your package management system. I always use cpan2rpm - there's
also a cpan2deb utility, but I've not used it myself.
