If you are doing a fresh install of perl, you will probably not need to unset
LANG anymore as newer perls should be just fine (The probem you are running into

Make sure that the mysql_config for the version of mysql that you installed and
not that one that comes with red hat before running the CPAN shell. You can
check this by doing a 'which mysql_config'.
