  Sun Feb 05 14:26:01 2012 ribasushi [...] leporine.io - Ticket created
Subject: Makefile does not test for compiler availability
As already mentioned in http://search.cpan.org/~timb/DBI-1.617/lib/DBI/PurePerl.pm#INSTALLATION the Make3file should simply skip all xs code building if a compiler is not available. A well working implementation for such a check can be found here: https://metacpan.org/source/ADAMK/List-MoreUtils-0.33/Makefile.PL#L81
  Sun Feb 05 14:47:29 2012 ribasushi [...] leporine.io - Dependency by ticket #74706 added
  Tue Feb 21 22:12:26 2012 bitcard.org [...] perl.tgape.org - Correspondence added

This would also require a code update to the perl modules so that they eval bootstrapping and fail over to loading pure perl even if the DBI_PUREPERL environment variable is not set. I'm not saying that's a big obstacle, just that it would need to be done as well.

This isn't a priority for me. I'd happily take a patch though.
