ActivePerl offers a PPM archive of DBD::mysql. All you need to do is typing
ppm
install DBI
install DBD-mysql
This will fetch the modules via HTTP and install them. If you need to use a WWW proxy server, the environment variable HTTP_proxy must be set:
set HTTP_proxy=http://my.proxy.server:8000/
ppm
install DBI
install DBD-mysql
Of course you need to replace the host name my.proxy.server and the port number 8000 with your local values.
If the above procedure doesn't work, please upgrade to the latest version of ActivePerl. Versions before build 623 are known to have problems.
PPM 3 is said to miss DBD::mysql in the repository. Thus use of PPM 3 is discouraged, in favour of PPM 2. If you need to use PPM 3, try
ppm
rep add PPM2 http://ppm.activestate.com/PPMPackages/5.6plus/
rep 2
install DBI
install DBD-mysql

Hopefully, that should get you up and running.
