Maybe you should inspect the Perl script you're trying to run, and you
should look for the following Perl statement:

use Apache::DBI;

I think it's also good to read the documentation for the Apache::DBI
module in CPAN:
http://search.cpan.org/~pgollucci/Apache-DBI-0.9901/DBI.pm
You could also try to add

PerlModule Apache::DBI  # this comes before all other modules using DBI

to start.pl. You should pay attention to the comment!!!
THIS MODULE SHOULD BE LOADED BEFORE ALL OTHER MODULES USING DBI.

What can you do next if you had configured everything correctly and
the Perl scripts are OK?
Maybe you just dont't have the Apache::DBI module installed on your
machine, and you should download it and install it then:

% perl -MCPAN -e "shell"

install Apache::DBI
