Where to get DBD:mysql binary?

My Linux 9 distribution dos not come with Perl module DBD::mysql installed
for MYSQL, although it comes with DBI installed. Where I can get a binary
distribution of DBD::mysql? I tried to do a source installation from CPAN
but failed.

Thanks a bunch

Red Hat 9 Linux comes with an RPM named,

perl-DBD-MySQL-2.1021.i386.rpm

If you want/need to install DBD::MySQL version 2.900x, download the
source RPM 'perl-DBD-MySQL-2.9002-1.src.rpm' from the rawhide directory
tree on Red Hat's FTP site

[url]ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/rawhide/SRPMS/[/url]

Then do,

[root]# rpmbuild --rebuild perl-DBD-MySQL-2.9002-1.src.rpm
[root]# cd /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/
[root]# rpm -Uvh perl-DBD-MySQL-2.9002-1.i386.rpm
