DBD-mysql-2.9002: perl Make.PL fails

Hi,
when I try to install DBD:Mysql module on Redhat Linux 9.0,
the first command "perl Makefile.PL" produces following output.

============================================================ ===========
I will use the following settings for compiling and testing:

cflags (mysql_config) = -I'/usr/local/mysql/include/mysql'
libs (mysql_config) = -L/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient -lz
-lcrypt -lnsl -lm -lc -lnss_files -lnss_dns -lresolv -lc -lnss_files -lnss_dns
-lresolv

[snip]

Unsuccessful stat on filename containing newline at
/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/ExtUtils/Liblist/Kid.pm line 97.
Note (probably harmless): No library found for -lmysqlclient
============================================================ ===========

The "Unsuccessful stat...." message is printed dozens of times.
The path shown in the "libs" variable assignment above is correct,
still it says that "No library found for -lmysqlclient"

The line number 97 in the file
/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/ExtUtils/Liblist/Kid.pm mentioned above
is as follows.

if (@fullname = $self->lsdir($thispth,"^\Qlib$thislib.$so.\E[0-9]+")){


Could someone please tell me what's wrong with it?

Thanks,
Mahendra
