There are alternate PostgreSQL interface modules such as Pg, Postgres and PgSQL.

They are all modules like DBI, so there's no advantage in terms of being able to install without being superuser. But you don't need to be superuser, just install the modules into your own account and use the 'use lib' directive to point perl to your additional libraries.

I don't think DBI is built into any version of Perl, especially 5.004_04 which is fairly dated.

You can get all the above modules and the DBI drivers from CPAN.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
