i'm not familiar w/ DBI and MySQL, but I do use DBD::Sybase and those 
drivers are on the client.  i guess you might need to install the necessary 
MySQL DBI modules on the web server.  do a syntax check of your CGI script 
with "-c" before running your CGI program, and maybe print out the vars in 
%ENV assuming the syntax is fine.  good luck
