Problem on Debian Linux Installing DBD-mysql

I have just recently switched to Libranet (basically Debian) Linux. I
cannot install the DBD-mysql mod on my system. It needs mysql_config,
which is not part of the mysql packages under Debian (or perhaps it's part
of a mysql package that doesn't look like it has to be installed?). I've
used apt-get to install the libdbd-mysql-perl, but that doesn't seem to
work. I'm not using the MySQL server on this computer, but I am using the
client to connect to MySQL on another system.

What can I do to get Perl working with MySQL on this system and (if anyone
knows) why doesn't Debian include mysql_config in their packages? It seems
like the kind of oversight that never makes it into Debian packaging.

Thanks for any help!
