I agree.  One thing you need to keep in mind when using MySQL's RPMs is 
that the DBD::mysql RPM provided by RedHat only works with RedHat's 
MySQL RPMs (when talking to a database server on the same machine - 
it'll still work fine if the DB server is remote).  If you use MySQL's 
RPM for MySQL itself, make sure you reinstall DBD::mysql from CPAN 
*after* installing MySQL's RPMs.
