From scratch you build/install DBI, DBD dependencies, then the DBD. For 
upgrades you can piecemeal them. Usually DBDs support DBIs 2 or more 
years old, so you usually aren't forced to upgrade quickly.

When I'm motivated to upgrade anything I usually shoot the moon, 
though, just to make sure "latest stable" works across the board. This 
last round started because I thought an upgrade might disperse some 
weirdness that showed up w/ a fetchrow_hashref() call we were doing. 
Yup, it worked.
