You can go to VM2 Administration > Shop > Shipping Methods, click on 'New' and configure one or more shipping methods which you can name 'DHL'.

Well, i can see only one shipping method, i am looking for DHL shipping method using their APIs ? Automatic calculation of shipping prices. Is there any such shipping  method for VM2 ?

As far as I know there is no DHL shipping plugin using a DHL API.  For the DHL system there is no need for this. You can easily configure a DHL shipping method by clicking on 'Shipping Methods' > 'New' , give it a name - i.e. DHL Germany and click on 'Save'. After saving your new shipping method, you can configure the new shipping method in the second tab (labled 'Konfiguration'). I'm using for example 4 shipping methods for the country specific DHL rates: Germany, European Community countries, Europe (non-EC), Rest of the World. Then VM shows the correct DHL shipping cost after the customer has entered his address (country).
