Setting up Install Process
No package perl-Apache-DBI available.
Error: Nothing to do

• Firtly check and install gc ( yum install gc)
• Secondly check and install make ( yum install make)
• Third install cpan ( yum install perl-CPAN)
• Finally install perl-Apache-DBI ( perl -MCPAN -e 'install Apache::DBI' )

The last one will show a series of lines and after a few enters, you are done.
