I'm kind of not sure about it. I have never heard of a 'bundle' in context with Perl but that may be because I know little about Perl. DBI can be got from http://www.cpan.org/modules/by-module/DBI/DBI-1.53.tar.gz and DBD-Pg is on http://www.cpan.org/modules/by-module/DBD/DBD-Pg-1.49.tar.gz This is the source code.
