I had a similar problem and I believe I solved it being sure that all of
the directories that the @INC statement looks for were in fact created
and then went back and re-compiled the driver Msql-MySQL-modules.
If you running RedHat..
I believe the most recent versions of the driver are looking for
RH6.0(which comes with Perl 5.005) hooks so if you are running RH5.x this
problem occurs.
