Because of this, and can not install maatkit, unfortunately. It turns out that the use of scripts in Perl, to administer the database does not work, but it’s a very serious obstacle to the introduction of Percona Server in production.

I had the same problem on a CentOS server, using Percona 5.5.

When i tried to do a yum install perl-DBD-MySQL i got errors, because it also tried to install the package Percona-Server-shared-51, which is the wrong version.

Then i did a yum install Percona-Server-shared-compat, which installed fine  
and then i could do a yum install perl-DBD-MySQL without problems 🙂

Edit:  
i found the solution here:
