I believe the following kit will work fine with 5.005 :

  o DBI 1.37
  o Class::DBI 0.90
  o Ima::DBI 0.28
  o DBD::mysql latest should be OK

You should be able to get all of them from the CPAN.

Some of the dependencies might be tricky but we still have one 5.005
machine that has this kit and it worked fine last time I checked.

You'll have to accept the fact that you will not be able to do some of
the newer stuff but you will certainly be able to do most of the things
you want to.
