This is an issue with the installation of DBD::mysql, and not with Bugzilla.

If you post to the mozilla-webtools mailing list (see
http://www.bugzilla.org/support/ ), we'll be happy to help you try to solve it
though.  Another good place to look for help with this issue would be the
dbi-users mailing list (http://lists.perl.org/showlist.cgi?name=dbi-users),
which is the home of the DBD::mysql developer/user community, and would be the
place to report the problem to them.

Ah, I did find a hint for you though...   the DBD::mysql Makefile apparently
doesn't deal well with locales.  Try setting LANG=C or LC_ALL=C in your
environment before running the install command.
