Installation Help - Perl module purgatory

Can somebody help me interpret all this? I’m new to Perl. I’ve got the
dependencies test happy now with all but two of the modules:

[root@Kidd rt-3-0-8]# perl ./sbin/rt-test-dependencies --with-mysql
–with-modperl1 | grep MISS
Apache::Request …MISSING
DBD::mysql 2.1018…MISSING
[root@Kidd rt-3-0-8]#

Here’s the blowback from DBD::mysql

[root@Kidd rt-3-0-8]# perl -MCPAN -e ‘install DBD::mysql’

There’s no mysql_config or mysql.h on my system (RPM install) ???

And here’s the blowback from Apache::Request

Make sure you have the MySQL-devel and MySQL-shared packages installed. The
former you definitely need and the latter is probably needed.

RT 3.0.8
httpd 2.0.40
mod_perl 1.99

mod_perl 1.99 is really mod_perl 2. It’s still in beta technically. Be
careful with Redhat built RPMs of mod_perl 2. Many are severely broken. You
may want to grab an SRPM from Fedora or one from
http://httpd.apache.org/~gozer/mp2/.

No luck so far. Anybody have any other ideas???

have added -devel and -shared packages for MySQL

also
have dropped back to building Apache 1.3.29 statically with mod_perl
and using 1.29 on mod_perl

still can’t get a make/install on these two modules?
