At present, there is not a DBD::mysql module compatible with ActivePerl 5.10 on Windows. I checked all the repositories I could, tried compiling it myself, and nothing worked. (This was yesterday, September 30, 2008.)

I installed ActivePerl 5.8.8 instead and have a much easier time finding and installing compatible modules. You can download ActivePerl 5.88 from ActiveState. I was then able to install the DBD::mysql module using the following instructions from its CPAN module page:

Instructions
As of this writing, DBD::mysql is missing in the ActivePerl 5.8.0 repository. However, Randy Kobes has kindly donated an own distribution and the following might succeed:

ppm install http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/DBD-mysql.ppd
Hope this helps!
