Trouble Installing DBD::mysql

I'm attempting to install DBD::mysql, and it's failing because it cannot log into the SQL server. I have put a my.cnf in /root for the duration of the installation. I can't log in specifying mysql without '-p'. However, I can do this with a non-root account that has a my.cnf in place. I'm assuming the my.cnf would let the CPAN tests log in, which is the cause of the installation failure.

I don't want to force install this module, and I am not quite sure how to get this to install properly.

See DBD::mysql::INSTALL:

Environment Variables

For ease of use, you can set environment variables for DBD::mysql installation. You can set any or all of the options, and export them by putting them in your .bashrc or the like:

The relevant ones are:

export DBD_MYSQL_TESTDB=test
export DBD_MYSQL_TESTHOST=localhost
export DBD_MYSQL_TESTPASSWORD=s3kr1+
export DBD_MYSQL_TESTPORT=3306
export DBD_MYSQL_TESTUSER=me

Of course, customize the values for your situation.
