Port upgrade/install problem: MySQL and Perl I/F

Stuff like this happens, you can e-mail the port maintainer and
bitch him out for making a stupid change to the dependency
requirement, or you can simply dispense with ports, download
the perl module and compile and install it "the old fashioned way"

You ought to have nuked and repaved that server, your just lucky
that this very minor thing was the only thing that blew up.
