The DBD::mysql Perl module is used by many server software packages, but installing it on Panther can be problematic. A thread over at Mac OS X Hints contains a tip from someone at Apple that will solve most DBD::mysql install problems on Panther. (As always, don’t forget to install the Panther Developer Tools before attempting this or any other installations that compile software using gcc.)

Update: An updated hint is available.
