in thread DBD::mysql fail install check

In my case, some combination of these.

This is just an FYI, having struggled through installing DBD-mysql on OSX (yet again).

32 or 64 bit? The system Perl that came with Mavericks is dual architecture. But this time around I was installing using perlbrew, which is 64 bit. So,duh, I need the 64-bit MySQL database.

That means I don't need to set VERSIONPER_PERL_PREFER_32_BIT anymore.

Oh, don't forget to stop the 32-bit and start the 64 bit first.

Then, set DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH before building the module.
