I followed these steps listed on this website: http://www.quicomm.com/apm_dbddbi.htm

At step 3 of the tutorial listed on the site ("Install the Perl MySQL DBD module:"), I get the mysql_config error. But, I tried typing mysql into the terminal, and a 'command not found' is printed.

Cool. This probably makes things a lot easier. The reason that config file is not found is that it is part of MySQL, which you don't have installed. Goto http://brew.sh, install Homebrew, then use Homebrew to install MySQL with this command: brew install mysql

For some reason, I cannot reply to your message below...there is no reply button. I was going to try Homebrew, as you suggested, but I have gone too far to turn back lol.

However, I managed to get the mysql_config file working...I followed this exactly using Mysql binary from Oracle (mysql-5.6.17-osx10.7-x86): http://search.cpan.org/dist/DBD-mysql/lib/DBD/mysql/INSTALL.pod#Mac_OS_X

Now, I get this error when I go to run my script:

dyld: lazy symbol binding failed: Symbol not found: _mysql_init

+DBD/mysql/mysql.bundle

Google tells me its a 32-bit 64-bit issue between perl and DBI. But, both are 64 bit (computer is intel core 2 duo 64 bit-->see http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3696 and, well, oracle says their binary is 64-bit)

First, can you confirm for me by typing mysql in terminal to verify that whatever you installed actually installed MySQL?

Second, you are running OS X 10.8.4, but whatever you installed is for OS X 10.7. I really think you should use Homebrew.
