in thread DBD::Mysql not working properly in mac OS X

I am assuming that your script does work when called from the terminal, but you get an error when you call it from the browser.

If that is the case then try changing the first line of your script to: 

#!/usr/bin/perl5.12.4

Also, to see any errors, add these lines directly after the first line: 
use CGI::Carp('fatalsToBrowser');
print "Content-type:text/html\n\n";

      I think your script is running with perl 5.10 when called from the browser, and that your mySQL is compiled against perl 5.12. To see if this is the case, create the following script and compare the results you get when called from the browser and when called from the terminal. 
      #!/usr/bin/perl
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
my $command = `perl -v`;
print "$command\n";

        it is showing perl 5.12.4 in both case.
