For some reason, I cannot reply to your message below...there is no reply button. I was going to try Homebrew, as you suggested, but I have gone too far to turn back lol.

However, I managed to get the mysql_config file working...I followed this exactly using Mysql binary from Oracle (mysql-5.6.17-osx10.7-x86): http://search.cpan.org/dist/DBD-mysql/lib/DBD/mysql/INSTALL.pod#Mac_OS_X

Now, I get this error when I go to run my script: 

dyld: lazy symbol binding failed: Symbol not found: _mysql_init
  Referenced from: /Library/Perl/5.12/darwin-thread-multi-2level/auto/
+DBD/mysql/mysql.bundle
  Expected in: flat namespace

Google tells me its a 32-bit 64-bit issue between perl and DBI. But, both are 64 bit (computer is intel core 2 duo 64 bit-->see http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3696 and, well, oracle says their binary is 64-bit)
