The DBD::mysql perl module can no longer be found by my code

Maybe 4 weeks ago my site perl code stopped working. Perl can no longer find the DBD::mysql perl module. The site has been working correctly for years and no changes were made.

I have tried repeatedly to install the DBD module in cPanel but the installation fails when the dependent DBI package fails to install correctly with the error:

Successfully installed DBI-1.632
! Installing the dependencies failed: Module 'DBI' is not installed
! Bailing out the installation for DBD-mysql-4.028. Retry with --prompt or --force.
1 distribution installed
Perl Expect failed with non-zero exit status: 256

Here is the error returned by perl when trying to load the missing module:

install_driver(Mysql) failed: Can't locate DBD/mysql.pm in @INC (@INC contains:

Perhaps the DBD::mysql perl module hasn't been fully installed,
or perhaps the capitalisation of 'Mysql' isn't right.
Available drivers: DBM, ExampleP, File, Gofer, Proxy, Sponge.
