Sorry I do not know what the problem might be.  It appears that your message 
was mimed into submission when it went through whatever email system(s) lie 
between us and I did not quite get the last characters there:

Might that have been something like this?

'Bird:src:Pudge:pudgeprogs:perl:site_specific:MacPPC:auto:DBD:mysql:mysql.al'

in which case it could be that Autosplit ran into difficulty with the 
mysql.pm module(?).  I would check the makefile for the explicit invokation 
of AutoSplit then run that on the command line (under -w -Mstrict) and
see about any -verbose switches that could shed some light on the issue.
Then see if the autosplit was expecting to split into a 
:mysql:mysql_create_table.al, :mysql:mysql_drop_table.al, and 
:mysql:mysql_info.al.  Perhaps it is still looking for vestiges of those 
subs(?).

At any rate I hope it helps.
