You do not need the ODBC mysql connector to use DBD::Mysql. Also, the msql-mysql-modules package is quite old and may not work correctly with current modules.

All you *should* need to install DBD::mysql you've already installed (i.e. perl, mysql, dbi and their respective header files, which get installed automatically when you install from source).

You should be able to use the latest DBD::mysql distribution from CPAN.

If that doesn't work, please post its output here.
