Installed Packages
perl-DBI.i386                            1.52-1.fc6
installed Available Packages
perl-DBIx-ContextualFetch.noarch         1.03-2.fc6
extras perl-DBIx-DBSchema.noarch                0.31-2.fc6
extras perl-DBIx-SearchBuilder.noarch           1.45-1.fc6
extras          

So, should just be 'yum install perl-DBI'

You can use yum list 'whatever*' to search the available packages. 

yum info 'whatever' gives you more info on what a package is before you
install it.
