Hello Xavier,

I have not looked at that particular problem but this may be of interest..
Are you installing the right software?
.
Using search.cpan.org I see that the Msql-Mysql-modules are really old. If 
you are using MySQL you probably want the plain old MySQL DBD driver.

A bundle to install Perl drivers for mSQL or MySQL
Msql-Mysql-modules-1.2219 - 30 Oct 2001 - Jochen Wiedmann

Bundle::DBD::mysql
A bundle to install Perl drivers for mSQL or MySQL
DBD-mysql-2.9003 - 26 Oct 2003 - Rudy Lippan


Tip:
You may also need to

export LANG=C

before running the perl Makefile.PL

Hmmm ....

The documentation for Bundle::Slash isn't that clear on MySQL drivers...
http://search.cpan.org/~cnandor/Bundle-Slash-2.34/Slash.pm

says

Bundle::DBD::mysql - ???



Goodluck
