I wanted to build an awesome place for people to discuss module specific issues, but I don't have any more time for this, and there are much better places to discuss Perl-related issues. I'd recommend asking your question on Stack Overflow or on Perl Monks.
If you are looking for a Perl tutorial or Perl-related news, I hope these links will serve you well.

Yep you guessed! Install problems with DBD::MySQL
I've been reading through similar threads on this topic, but can't seem to see answers to these threads, only questions, which is why i'm posting my question in a hope that somebody can help me out with this. :)

Ok so from what it looks like, i'm erroring with the libs and cflags directories. I'm aware this is a common issue, so hopefully i can be put on the right track with this.

I'll link my code below:
