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.
