The mysql-perl had something called the Perl DBI. Go to this url:
http://www.mysql.com/downloads/api-dbi.html
Get the DBI and the Mysql-Perl tarballs. They are funny to install, but
basicly you untar them:
tar zxvf <file>
then, in the directory created by that:
perl Makefile.PL
make
make install
You can optionally stick make test inbetween make and make install.
I don't know of a decent MySQL Perl DBI in RPM format that keeps up with the
latest and greatest MySQL.
