Having said that, it looks like you are trying to install a module called MySQL::client, which I've never heard of and isn't available on the definitive CPAN site.
Unless you have a reason to go along this route (when I think you will need Linux-specific help) you should use the Database Independent interface module 'DBI' together with the MySQL driver module 'DBD::MySQL', with which most Perl database programmers are familiar.
You've got Perl on the brain. ;-) An RPM doesn't have to be a Perl module. What he's trying to do is install a database client (like you would write using the DBI) program (MySQL-client-4.0.15-0) that happens to depend on Perl. (Presumably it is partially written in Perl, maybe using the DBI.) The install is complaining that Perl is not installed.
I missed the original question, but I would echo the advice to use your distro's help resources to fix this, assuming you are sure Perl is installed.
