My first thought is that the MySQL environment is not set correctly.

Honestly though, building DBD::Anything is usually dead simple on Linux, which is the flavor of unix that I use, that I have not had a problem in ages.

Building DBD::Oracle on Solaris, AIX and HP/UX is sometimes problematic.

One statement you made confuses me:

Are you trying to use the Perl that is distributed with Oracle?

If so, I would strongly advise that you download, build and install a separate copy of Perl for your migration project, and build and install whatever Perl modules you need into the new Perl.

You should probably point your browser http://lists.perl.org, and locate the appropriate mailing list to help you with this if you have further problems.

I would recommend the dbi-users list
