So I guess my question, after following this, is to NOT follow the directions in the link I posted, but simply make the change in the .conf first, then download the source from CPAN, then install it.
Is that the correct order of things?
You forgot Step One - Check the list archives. :-)
As far as fixing Perl's configuration, you only need to do that once. Once it's fixed, it's fixed - unless you reinstall the OS.
You don't have to download the module from CPAN manually - just CPAN.pm's "look" command. From the CPAN.pm shell:
look DBD::mysql
That will download the latest version of the module, unzip it, and open up a sub-shell in the build directory. From there you can easily run Makefile.PL with the parameters it needs.
