Try ActiveState; they appear to have HPUX distributions of
modules. However, I can't reach their server
aspn.activestate.com at the moment to verify details.
If that doesn't work out...

What compiled the perl you're using? Maybe it came with the
system and the config tries to use a cc that isn't there, but
it's worth at least trying. Run through
perl -MCPAN -e 'make DBI'
and see if it works. If not, your best bet is to make a
private copy of gcc.

You just set PREFIX when making the Makefile:
perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/home/me/perl_modules
Best way to get there:
perl -MCPAN -e shell
CPAN> look DBI
Good luck.
