Problem Solved!

Give stuff like ActivePerl and Fink a go but not at no avail…
I ended up making them modules myself.

Steps taken:

Download the mysql source code and compiled a mysql (without server) to make libraries only available for DBD.

cd /usr/local/src/mysql-4.1.22

./configure --without-server --prefix=/usr/local/src/mysql-4.1.22

make 

make install

Note: make install generates quite a few errors which can be ignored. We only need them libraries…

Downloaded and created DBI

cd  /usr/local/src/DBI-1.51

perl Makefile.PL

make && make test

make install

Downloaded and created DBD using the previously compiled mysql libraries

cd /usr/local/src/DBD-mysql-3.0008

perl Makefile.PL --libs="-L/usr/local/src/mysql-4.1.22/lib/mysql 
-lmysqlclient -lz -lm" –cflags="-I/usr/local/src/mysql-4.1.22/include/mysql"

make && make test

make install

Okay, all systems are go!
