You can force the installation (--nodeps) when installing the RPM package.
Even if you build DBI (and not install it from RPM) it won't be in the
RPM database, and you'll get the same error.
You should be able to get a FC2 RPM for the DBI module - download that
RPM and install it, then install MySQL - that would be the easiest
course of action...
