I built Msql-Mysql-modules for perl-5.6.0 a while back, using this mysql
client library:

http://www.neuro.gatech.edu/users/cwilson/cygutils/unversioned/mysql-clientlib/index.html

and building according to these instructions:

http://www.neuro.gatech.edu/users/cwilson/cygutils/V1.1/perl-5.6.0/modules.html#Msql-Mysql-modules-1.2211-1

WARNING: the rpm at that location CANNOT be used with the official (e.g.
available from cygwin mirrors) perl-5.6.1-TRIAL1 release of perl.  That
rpm can ONLY work with the perl-5.6.0 distributed at cygutils.  
However, I do not recommend using the cygutils perl -- you're better off
building the mysql perl module yourself, using the perl-5.6.1-TRIAL1
release but following the instructions above.

DISCLAIMER: I have not attempted to build any of these modules with
perl-5.6.1-TRIAL1, but see no reason to expect they would not work.
