Hi, I have the following configuration: I tried to install mysql with the following command
cpanm DBD::mysql

And get FAIL Configure failed for DBD-mysql-4.050. See /root/.cpanm/work/1590352522.4014/build.log for details Here is the build.log

From the log it appears that it is not able to access mysql_config but I am not sure how to resolve this?

Cannot find the file 'mysql_config'! Your execution PATH doesn't seem
not contain the path to mysql_config. Resorting to guessed values!


PLEASE NOTE:

For 'make test' to run properly, you must ensure that the
database user 'root' can connect to your MySQL server
and has the proper privileges that these tests require such
as 'drop table', 'create table', 'drop procedure', 'create procedure'
as well as others.

You can also optionally set the user to run 'make test' with:

perl Makefile.PL --testuser=username

Failed to determine directory of mysql.h. Use

  perl Makefile.PL --cflags=-I<dir>
