Mario,

 This was really pissing me off too. But, I found out how to fix it.

rename /etc/sysconfig/i18n to /etc/sysconfig/i18n.orig
(you could probably delete it, but, I don't know what it does)(also
supposedly this makes perl-sybase not work)

now reboot the machine.
clean out you /root/.cpan/build directory

then run perl -MCPAN -eshell and try an installation like normal.
That worked for me.  Just to let you know 'config_mysql' might not be
found. so you'll have to edit Makefile.PL and use the full path to
config_mysql; it's in the mysql/bin directory of you mysql installation.

Hope that works for you.

-Jose
