I am usually a big fan of installing most things through CPAN. Nevertheless, if you are installing an application like Bugzilla, you should always try to install the binary versions of the Perl Libs as distributed by your distro, and only if those should not work, should you try to do it yourself (especially for modules that need compiling).
If you would have installed the binary dbd for mysql, the rpm dependencies should have warned about mysql not being installed. I use Debian and they have a clear Perl Policy, don't know about RH. But derived from my experience, it is best to install the binary packages from your distro for _most_ of your Perl needs, and only use cpan for special versions needs or for special purposes, like Catalyst development for example. Best, Alejandro
