AFAIK SuSE comes with a precompiled version of DBD::mysql.
See http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/J/JW/JWIED/DBD-mysql-2.1020.readme:

 SuSE Linux 7.2 (you may prefer yast)

    rpm -i mysql mysql-client mysql-devel mysql-shared
    rpm -i perl-DBI
    rpm -i perl-Msql-Mysql-modules

No clue what's wrong without a complete log of "perl Makefile.PL",
"make" and "make test".
