> Still I get problems getting DBD::mysql to install:

I always install this one by hand, so I can set the libs and MySQL 
user/password correctly:

wget http://cpan.org/modules/by-module/DBD/DBD-mysql-2.9004.tar.gz
tar zxf DBD-mysql-2.9004.tar.gz
cd DBD-mysql-2.9004

perl Makefile.PL \
--libs="-L/opt/mysql/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient -lz" \
--cflags=-I/opt/mysql/include/mysql \
--testuser=xxx \
--testpassword=yyy

make && make test && make install


Check the libs and cflags directories for wherever you are installed MySQL.  
testuser is usually "root" and the password is root's password.


FYI, I'm running RT 3.2.1 on FC2 with no issues whatsoever, so I know it can 
be done... :)
