in reply to [SOLVED] Using Perlbrew with debian Perl packages like libdbd-mysql

Solved, with some more diligent googling:

1) I found this: http://adam.sardar.me.uk/?p=693

2) Basically it says to: Install the package ‘libmysqlclient-dev’ through aptitude.

3) However, that package name is no longer around.

4) I got the new package name and did: sudo apt-get install default-libmysqlclient-dev

5) cpanm DBD::mysql now works

Unfortunately, I have no idea why or how it works.
