Thanks, Hardy. I think you found a piece to my puzzle.
The DBI bundle nets me:
****
cpan> install Bundle::DBI
CPAN: Storable loaded ok
Going to read /root/.cpan/Metadata
Storable is up to date.
Net::Daemon is up to date.
RPC::PlServer is up to date.
Getopt::Long is up to date.
DBI is up to date.
*****
BUT, the DBD nets me:
*****
cpan> install DBD::mysql
Running install for module DBD::mysql
Running make for J/JW/JWIED/DBD-mysql-2.0901.tar.gz
Scanning cache /root/.cpan/build for sizes
CPAN: MD5 loaded ok
DBD-mysql-2.0901/....
<snip>
DBD-mysql-2.0901/constants.h
Removing previously used /root/.cpan/build/DBD-mysql-2.0901
CPAN.pm: Going to build J/JW/JWIED/DBD-mysql-2.0901.tar.gz
This is an experimental version of DBD::mysql. For production environments
you should prefer the Msql-Mysql-modules.
I will use the following settings for compiling and testing:
testpassword (default) =
testhost (default) =
testuser (default) =
nocatchstderr (default) = 0
testdb (default) = test
To change these settings, see 'perl Makefile.PL --help' and 'perldoc
INSTALL'.
Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good

**********
So the DBD::mysql install fails. I have two follow-up questions on that:
1) Why does the driver show up when I do:
perl -MDBI -e 'print join("\n",DBI->available_drivers) . "\n";
2) Has anyone encountered this type of failure before and, if so, do you
know the solution to the problem?

Subject: Re: Problems running DBD::mysql
One thing you didn't mention is rebuilding DBI - try rebuilding DBI and
*then* rebuilding DBD::mysql. I prefer using CPAN, as I think you
said as well:
CPAN> install Bundle::DBI
CPAN> install DBD::mysql
It's been a while since I installed DBD::mysql, but I think(?) that
will work for DBD::mysql.
HTH.
