Problem with Mysql - Perl 5.8
Need some advice here, I installed Perl 5.8.0 on my Debian box, on top
of the Debian Perl package 5.6.1
Perl seems to work, but I tried to install the DBD::mysql bundle and am
running into errors telling me mysql_config cannot be found.
So I figured something was wrong with Mysql and I upgraded the Debian
Mysql package to the newest version but it fails with the following error.

I'm not too sure what to do now, did I mess up in trying to install a
Non Debian package on top of the system?
Should I just restore from backup and go back to 5.6.1? Or should I just
attempt the Mysql install from Source?
Thank you guys.
