I thought I'd give myself a little useless suffering by installing 
MySQL (the Mac 64-bit .dmg) and then trying to install DBD::mysql 
with similar results to yours.

I then tried various supposed solutions to no effect.

Finally I discovered this suggestion and hey presto! success with 
both installations:


$ cd /usr/local/bin
$ sudo ln -s /usr/local/mysql/lib/libmysqlclient.18.dylib 
/usr/lib/libmysqlclient.18.dylib
$ sudo ./cpan
[...]
cpan[1]> install DBD::mysql
[...]
Appending installation info to 
/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.14.0/darwin-2level/perllocal.pod
   CAPTTOFU/DBD-mysql-4.019.tar.gz
   /usr/bin/make install  -- OK
