There is a flag to install DBD::mysql without testing the server 
interaction, if you are sure you have everything right. But what I usually 
do is set up a test db with a test username and password in mysql, then run 
Perl Makefile.PL for DBD::mysql with flags telling it to specifically use 
the same. If you've already downloaded the module with cpan, just go to 
~/.cpan/build/DBD::mysql-xxxx/ and type "perl Makefile.PL -h" (I think that 
is the correct switch) to see the list of flags you can set for make.
