I think you need to put quotes around your --libs argument to stop
your shell splitting it on spaces, i.e.
"--libs=-L/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient -lz -lcrypt -lnsl -lm"

This looks like your --libs argument has been split by your shell, so
Makefile.PL is receiving six arguments instead of one.

That's probably because the mysql libraries (-lmysqlclient) were not
linked in earlier.

An installation problem I think.
