Venerable Perl Monks,
I recently upgraded to macOS Big Sur (11.1) and found, as often happens after a major upgrade, that my Perl DBI scripts no longer work. Usually fixing this is just a matter of reinstalling DBD::mysql, but this time I got an error I haven't seen before.
Here's the CPAN output:
cpan[4]> install DBD::mysql Running install for module 'DBD::mysql' Checksum for /Users/mrb/.cpan/sources/authors/id/D/DV/DVEEDEN/DBD-mysq +l-4.050.tar.gz ok Configuring D/DV/DVEEDEN/DBD-mysql-4.050.tar.gz with Makefile.PL 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. mysql> grant all privileges on test.* to 'root'@'localhost' identified + by 's3kr1t'; You can also optionally set the user to run 'make test' with: perl Makefile.PL --testuser=username I will use the following settings for compiling and testing: cflags (mysql_config) = -I/usr/local/mysql/include embedded (mysql_config) = ldflags (guessed ) = libs (mysql_config) = -L/usr/local/mysql/lib -lmysqlclient mysql_config (guessed ) = mysql_config nocatchstderr (default ) = 0 nofoundrows (default ) = 0 nossl (default ) = 0 testdb (default ) = test testhost (default ) = testpassword (default ) = testport (default ) = testsocket (default ) = testuser (guessed ) = root To change these settings, see 'perl Makefile.PL --help' and 'perldoc DBD::mysql::INSTALL'. Checking if libs are available for compiling... Looks good. Checking if your kit is complete...

I find that there are a number of copies of DBIXS.h in various places on my system:

How do I help the CPAN module find what it needs?
