There are perl DBD drivers included with RH7.3 for both PostgreSQL and 
MySQL. I am pretty sure they have been distributed with all RH versions 
6.x and greater, maybe even earlier. You need the perl-DBI* rpm and the 
perl-DBD-mysql* rpm. You should be able to find them on any RH mirror. 
Check the updates, too. I think they did get some work done to them. Try 
www.rpmfind.net if you have trouble.

There is a way to take any module off of CPAN and convert it into an RPM 
using the cpanflute program. Search google for cpanflute and you can 
probably find a HOWTO on it. It's surprisingly easy. It is a RH perl 
programmer's best friend.
