just use DBD::mysqlPP. it's exactly the same as DBD::Mysql except that it doesn't require compilation and is thus infinitely easier to install.
all you need to do is create a lib directory somewhere, use lib 'libdir'; in your script and then use DBD::mysqlPP; and use Net::MySQL. simply copy the files from DBD::mysqlPP and Net::MySQL into the lib directory and you should be good to go. just be sure to change the driver name in your connection string from "dbi:mysql" to "dbi:mysqlPP" good luck.
