I think you will find no help in the documentation...it is close but not
perfect (...if the documentation has been corrected then I apologize...).
This should help:

            There are known problems with shared versions of libmysqlclient,
            at least on some Linux boxes. If you receive an error message
            similar to

              install_driver(mysql) failed: Can't load
              '/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/i586-linux/auto/DBD/mysql/mysql.so'
              for module DBD::mysql: File not found at
              /usr/lib/perl5/i586-linux/5.00404/DynaLoader.pm line 166

            then this error message can be misleading: It's not mysql.so
            that fails being loaded, but libmysqlclient.so!

            As a workaround, recompile the Msql-Mysql-modules with

              perl Makefile.PL --static --config
              make
              make test
              make install

            This option forces linkage against the static libmysqlclient.a.
