David - it seems that the problem is clearly between Perl and MySQL.

How did you remove Perl and MySQL?  Are you sure you removed not only
the executables, but the libraries and support files?

This is not sounding good.  If I were in your shoes, I would start over
on a clean system and forget upgrading Perl and MySQL.  I'd install
Bugzilla on the stock system first so you can prove to yourself that it
works.  After that, I'd consider playing with newer versions of Perl and
MySQL.  From what I'm hearing you say (as above), it seems there is a
real problem with the libraries Perl is attempting to use.
