I really confussed about this. I don't know whether my mysql is 32bit or 64bit, so I just fresh installed mysql 5.5.27 for osx 10.6 64bit. And I did reinstalled DBI and DBD::mysql
make give me a lot of warnings like "warning: format not a string literal and no format arguments" but make test did went through. I can then populate database tables using a perl script ($ perl install.plfrom mwforum package) But when I use browser for the system testing (perl_test.cgi and forum.pl), both report me that DBD:mysql is not installed (or not available) Again, this is on snow leopard 10.6.8. I didn't do anything related perl before. And mysql+php worked quite well here.
