DBD build is failing. Where to find DBI.pm?

[ifxtechie]

Hi,
I have installed Active Perl [5.8]. I want to access my DB2 and Oracle databases. Hence I downloaded the DBD for DB2 [version .76]. When I tried to build on DBD, as said in README file, using the command
perl -w Makefile.PL
it went fine. But it gave errors in the second step when making using nmake.
C:\DBD-DB2-0.76>nmake

Can anybody pls tell me how to proceed with this. What are the requirements.
Thanks in advance
