You are not specifying which parts *should* work?

- The database server itself and/or the C client
  library: You'd better ask the MySQL list then.
- The Perl libraries? In that case I'd suggest to
  upgrade to a late version of DBD::mysql in order
  to get support for DBI's commit/rollback methods
  and the AutoCommit flag.
