We would have expected that mysql should compile just fine and that the DBI/DBD
modules would as well. Is it possible that the RedHat RPM was from a different
version? Did you download it or take it off the CD?
In any case, rebuilding Perl is very straightforward - just make sure you tell
it to make a dynamic loader.
Alternatively you could download everything from the mySQL site:
http://www.mysql.com/download_perl.html
http://www.mysql.com/download_3.22.html
There are also some notes there about RadHat 5.x glibc problems.
