This will print the environment variables. It won't tell you anything
about how Perl is set up or which modules are installed.

perl -v will tell you which version of Perl, perl -V will tell you the
version, how it was compiled, and the library path (@INC) where Perl will
look for modules. It will not tell you which modules are installed.

At the command line, you could try `perldoc DBD::mysql`. If the mysql
module is there, you should see the doumentation.
In Perl, you could use the available_drivers DBI method, like this:
#!/path/to/perl
use DBI;
$, = "\n";
print DBI->available_drivers;
You should see "mysql" in the output if the DBD::mysql module is there.
