Yep. More to the point - if you've installed MySQL with a prefix of /Library/MySQL, you'll need to add /Library/MySQL/bin to your PATH. If you don't want to clutter your PATH, you could also create symlinks in /usr/bin that point to the binaries in /Library/MySQL/bin.otherwise, add your install directory to the path.
Also - do read the INSTALL.html document that comes with DBD::mysql. You'll need to pass Configure.PL a number of parameters to specify a test user, password, and database - otherwise the self-tests will more than likely fail when you run "make test".
