Well on my machine that code says "Can't locate DBD/MySQL.pm". It says
that because the module is actually called DBD::mysql.

So I doubt you have shown us the actual code you ran. Or do you have
some other module?

And you don't need to use DBD::mysql because DBI will do that.

PS You don't need -w on the shebang line and on the command line and use
warnings as well! perl will get the hint with just one of them :)
