G'day Cody Fendant,

"... generating the Makefile.PL or doing the make ..."

The generation of Makefile.PL is done by the author and supplied as part of the distribution. If you follow DBD::mysql to DBD-mysql-4.050, you'll see it listed there.

Amongst other files you'll see listed, there's DBD::mysql::INSTALL. This has a lot of information. I'd probably look at "SPECIAL SYSTEMS: macOS" first; although, as I'm not familiar with your system, I don't know how helpful that might be.
