Strangely, in this instance case does not appear to matter -- I wrote that line of code "use DBD::MySQL" years ago -- and, for some reason, it has always worked -- on Windows and on Linux. The script fails in the same way if it is "DBD::mysql" or if I don't load DBD::mysql directly, but instead do DBI->connect("DBI:mysql:data . . .

My problem is not that the module isn't found, it's that DBD::mysql doesn't know where to find (or otherwise can't load) libmysqlclient.18.dylib. I don't know either! The closest I can get with Spotlight is /opt/local/lib/mysql5/libmysqlclient.16.dylib
