To use PPM to download DBI, I also had to set my http_proxy.
But I may have also had to change the repositories that were initially 
configured in PPM.
So if you still can't connect you may want to try that too.
Use the PPM rep command to view and change repositories.
Refer to the Activestate docs: Getting Started -> using PPM -> Where are the 
package repositories?

Hello,

if you are behind a firewall you must set http_proxy to your proxy.
set http_proxy=http://yourproxy.yourdomain.de:yourproxyport
