Re: DBD::mysql not installing!! Help!!

You don't say what OS, but I'm going to guess it's RedHat 9?

It's a Unicode problem that we had a lot with DateTime installations on
RH9. To get it to work, prepend the recipe with a null language
variable:

LANG=; perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install

That will stop it trying to go all unicode on you, and the problems with
the makefile will stop.

If I've guessed wrong, then accept my appologies and let us know which
distro you're using.

Cheers!
