Howto install DBD::mysql without a local copy of mysql

I have a lot of systems that perform remote queries and it gets to be a
pain having to install a functioning mysql server so the cpan install
scripts for perl -MCPAN -e'install DBD::mysql' won't fail. Is there anyway
way around this fustrating situation? Seems to me theres got to be a
better way.

Compile the MySQL sources with --without-server (hope I remember the
option name right). This will leave you exactly what's required for
DBD::mysql: The client libraries.
