DBD::ADO installs with DBI (this may change soon), as does a number of
other pure perl drivers.

Currently if you want to remove it using CPAN, you'll need to remove DBI
... not a good solution.
If your reason is because CPAN reports a version difference, you can
either use CPAN to force install DBD::ADO, hack the version number in
DBD::ADO, or ignore it.
Tim Bunce is (DBI author) is considering removing the pure perl drivers
for DBI in favor of using Bundle::DBI.
On the other had, you can review and send patches to help improve
DBD::ADO, it is pure (some places ugly) perl code ... ;->
