Please disregard.  I finally found the answer -- I need mysql client
software on the local box -- in the online documentation.

Subject: DBD::mysql for non-mysql box


If I want to load DBD::mysql on a box where mysql is not installed, do I
need to install some mysql components?  I'm doing this because I'll be
connecting to a remote box from my perl script to query, etc. mysql on
the remote box.  While using cpan to install the DBD::mysql module, I
received the following errors:

Can't exec "mysql_config": No such file or directory at Makefile.PL line
167. Failed to determine directory of mysql.h. Use perl Makefile.PL
--cflags=-I<dir>

Since mysql.h normally lives in $MYSQL/include, I'm thinking that I'll
have to install it locally to make this work.

Thanks,
Brian
