I started installing MySQL via CPAN, as I am used to doing, but when I ran into a problem installing DBD::mysql, I found and started using Fink. So I have MySQL installed in /usr/local/mysql via CPAN. When I run 'fink install dbd-mysql-pm588' as you suggest, it wants to install a new mysql client, among other packages, presumably under /sw. Does that mean that Fink can't see packages outside /sw, and will it be incompatible with CPAN and manually installed packages as I keep setting things up?
