I'm not sure if it applies to everybody, but I had this problem because I use the MySQL packages provided by Fink, but had not upgraded Fink to Mac OS X 10.6.

As a result, all my Fink libraries, including mysqlclient.dylib are 32-bit only.

The /usr/bin/perl in Snow Leopard is 32-or-64 bit, but prefers 64 bit. By the time it's loaded, it's definitely 64 bit and all further (runtime) libraries linked in HAVE to be 64-bit.

My solution is twofold: firstly, upgrade Fink into 64-bit land by reinstalling from scratch, as per their instructions. Secondly, I've decided to use the official MySQL build rather than Fink's build.

That's the bottom-line, but here are some other useful tips:

otool -L will tell you what other libraries a bundle depends on.
file on an executable will tell you what architectures it's compiled for.

In this case:

$ otool -L blib/arch/auto/DBD/mysql/mysql.bundle
blib/arch/auto/DBD/mysql/mysql.bundle:
        /sw/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.15.dylib (compatibility version 1
+6.0.0, current version 16.0.0)
        /usr/lib/libz.1.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current ve
+rsion 1.2.3)
        /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, curre
+nt version 124.1.1)

$ file /sw/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.15.dylib 
/sw/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.15.dylib: Mach-O dynamically linked share
+d library i386

$ file blib/arch/auto/DBD/mysql/mysql.bundle

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
