First things to ensure is that if you installed the 64bit version of Perl. Make sure you install the 64bit version of Mysql and mysql-devel. You will also need the GCC compiler installed on the server for linux.

To check the current Perl modules installed run instmodsh
To install the module run perl -MCPAN -e shell
Then
install Bundle::DBD::mysql
or
install DBD::mysql

under windows run

ppm install DBI
ppm install DBD::mysql

More information can be found at the cpan website

You can force the install if the test fails
fforce install DBD::mysql
