That's potentially true in general, but Apache-DBI is a pure
Perl module, so it doesn't need a C compiler to build.
If you want to play around with it, we have a ppm package
of Apache-DBI at http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/ - you
can install it, and then try patching the .pm files
(either with a "patch" utility for Windows, or just
manually).

Yes, DBI and mod_perl under Windows works fine.
