You have to install database client first before you install any kind of DBD
driver, no exception for DBD::MySQL. you should be able to download client
from www.mysql.com I think they have whole package with client/libs and DBD
together for ya.

Subject: Installation of MySQL Driver Module
I have installed the DBI module and am trying to install the MySQL driver
module. I get the following error message indicating that files like
"libmysqlclient" cannot be found. Can anyone help me?
$ perl Makefile.PL
Which drivers do you want to install?
1) MySQL only
2) mSQL only (either of mSQL 1 or mSQL 2)
3) MySQL and mSQL (either of mSQL 1 or mSQL 2)
4) mSQL 1 and mSQL 2
5) MySQL, mSQL 1 and mSQL 2
Enter the appropriate number: [3] 1
Do you want to install the MysqlPerl emulation? You might keep your old
Mysql module (to be distinguished from DBD::mysql!) if you are concerned
about compatibility to existing applications! [n] n
Where is your MySQL installed? Please tell me the directory that
contains the subdir 'include'. [/usr/local] /cygdrive/c/mysql
