[Pdx-pm] DBD::mysql

Sorry, my email was not clear... those changes are necessary to install 
the PERL modules for Mysql.  I had cut and pasted that from another 
email I had sent and forgot to read it over and "realign" it now that 
it was out of context.

 From what I am reading, I think this will solve your problems.
