I'm attempting an install of the DBD-mysql module off of CPAN. I'm using perl 5.8 (thanks to another unintentional CPAN upgrade). I've loaded DBI successfully and installed mysql successfully. My OS is RH 7.3 If you're so inclined, please take a look at the error listing below. 

CPAN.pm: Going to build J/JW/JWIED/DBD-mysql-2.1017.tar.gz
