  The install process correctly tracks a dependency on
  DateTime::Format::Builder, but after DT::F::Builder is installed, it
  seems to forget that it was trying to install DT::F::MySQL. So the MySQL
  module never gets installed.

 Ah, right.  The problem is that DT::F::Builder includes the DT::F::MySQL
 modules under its examples directory, and PAUSE is indexing it.  I need to
 fix this somehow.

I just uploaded new distros of DT::F::Builder  DT::F::MySQL, and that
should fix it.

Why not just bundle them together? CPAN will figure out which bundle to 
grab when you request a specific module such as DT::F::MySQL. (this only 
works if you're the maintainer of all modules in question...but I can 
imagine a scenario where you're bundling someone else's module in your 
examples directory and messing up their cpanitude...whoops)

Well, this would just get confusing, because people who only need
DT::F::MySQL would then have to remember to look at new DT::F::Builder
releases to see what changed.  I don't think bundling basically unrelated
modules is really helpful.
