Error: Requires: perl(Apache::DBI), but it is already installed

I'm trying to setup a test installation EPrints v3.3.12 in a virtual machine running CentOS 6.5 x86_64 before doing the same on my VPS.

Supposedly I've installed all dependencies following this guide with a few additions:

Code:

# yum install perl-CPAN
# perl -MCPAN -e 'install Apache::DBI'

Problem:

Code:

yum install eprints3 # 3.2.x

Installs fine, but

Code:

yum install eprints # 3.3.x and later

gives me the error:

Code:

Error: Package: eprints-3.3.12-1.el6.noarch (rpm-eprints-org)
           Requires: perl(Apache::DBI)
 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

Even though Apache:

BI is supposedly installed.

Code:

# perl -MCPAN -e 'install Apache::DBI'
CPAN: Storable loaded ok (v2.20)
Going to read '/root/.cpan/Metadata'
  Database was generated on Sun, 09 Feb 2014 12:17:02 GMT
Apache::DBI is up to date (1.12).

Any help would be greatly appreciated..

The package "perl-Apache-DBI" is in the EPEL.repo :
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL >>>
>> http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel...l-release.html
> http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel...6-8.noarch.rpm
I.e. this will do : 1) # rpm -Uvh epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm
2) # yum install perl-Apache-DBI

*** Files installed with cpan are not an rpm package.
And will not be recognized by yum.
RPM packages only are listed in the rpm data base.
