Below is the method I used for installing DBD::Mysql 

1. perl Makefile.PL –mysql_config=/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config –t
+estuser=root –testpassword=111111
I will use the following settings for compiling and testing:

cflags (mysql_config ) = -I/usr/local/mysql/include -Os -g -fno-common
+ -fno-strict-aliasing -arch x86_64
embedded (mysql_config ) = 
ldflags (mysql_config ) = 
libs (mysql_config ) = -L/usr/local/mysql/lib -lmysqlclient -lpthread
mysql_config (Users choice ) = /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config
nocatchstderr (default ) = 0
nofoundrows (default ) = 0
ssl (guessed ) = 0
testdb (default ) = test
testhost (default ) = 
testpassword (User’s choice) = 111111
testsocket (default ) = 
testuser (User’s choice) = root

2. make

3. make test

All tests successful.
Files=51, Tests=1270, 22 wallclock secs ( 0.38 usr  0.16 sys +  3.51 c
+usr  0.49 csys =  4.54 CPU)
Result: PASS

4. sudo make install
