Problem with Mysql - Perl 5.8

[Debian User]

Need some advice here, I installed Perl 5.8.0 on my Debian box, on top 
of the Debian Perl package 5.6.1

Perl seems to work, but I tried to install the DBD::mysql bundle and am 
running into errors telling me mysql_config cannot be found.

So I figured something was wrong with Mysql and I upgraded the Debian 
Mysql package to the newest version but it fails with the following error.

###
debconf: Perl may be unconfigured (Can't locate Debconf/Log.pm in @INC 
(@INC contains: /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.0/i686-linux

/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl .) 
at (eval 1) line 4.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at (eval 1) line 4.

And ,

I'm not too sure what to do now, did I mess up in trying to install a 
Non Debian package on top of the system?

Should I just restore from backup and go back to 5.6.1? Or should I just 
attempt the Mysql install from Source?

Thank you guys.
