If you have MAMP running, the perl in OS X doesn't know about it. So when you run the cpan command to install the DBD-MYSQL it's failing because it can't find MySQL.
MAMP runs everything (Perl, MySQL, Apache, PHP, etc) WITHIN the MAMP App.
IF you want to run MySQL with the default Perl and apache, etc in OS X, you need to let OS X know where stuff is.
The simplest way to get MySQL working properly with the local perl, in my experience, is to use MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> (used to be DarwinPorts), and make sure the /opt/... paths are in your ENV.
