Yes, I've gotten it to work. Here are the steps I used:
  1. Download the file http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/R/RK/RKOBES/mysql_config_win32.pl
  2. Make sure mysql.exe is in your path. Run it: perl mysql_config_win32.pl
  3. It will generate a mysql_config.bat and mysql_config.pl file, and install them to your mysql/bin directory, hopefully. On mine, I had to edit the .bat slightly to get it to work with Strawberry - remove the "%~dp0" prefix from lines 4 and 7
  4. Run "cpan" from the Command Prompt.
  5. run the command "look DBD::mysql"
  6. edit the Makefile.PL with the edits shown at http://strawberry.pastebin.com/f17b6dba9
  7. disable the server tests (if you want)
  8. perl Makefile.PL
  9. add path_to_mysql\lib\opt\libmysql.lib to the list of EXTRALIBS and LDLOADLIBS in Makefile Also, you need to make sure (it should already be) libmysql.dll is in your %PATH%. Note: since it was x64 windows mysql server bin\ that was in my %PATH%, I had to refer to the 32-bit libmysql.lib (stored in a different place), and also I had to put the 32-bit libmysql.dll in blib\arch\auto\DBD\mysql so that the tests run and it installed it correctly. That way (for me) it uses the 32-bit client .dll but operates against my 64-bit mysql server (which happens to be on localhost).
  10. dmake
  11. dmake test
  12. dmake install
