Percona toolkit execution failure

The attempts to run Percona toolkit programs are failing with following error, for example:
$ pt-heartbeat …

install_driver(mysql) failed: Attempt to reload DBD/mysql.pm aborted.
Compilation failed in require at (eval 37) line 3, line 1.

at /usr/bin/pt-heartbeat line 2964.
$

That happens on:
OS: AlmaLinux 9
Perl: This is perl 5, version 32, subversion 1 (v5.32.1) built for x86_64-linux-thread-multi
DBM: perl-DBD-MySQL.x86_64 1:4.050-4.el9 @pdps-8.0.36-release-x86_64
Percona toolkit: pt-heartbeat 3.6.0

Can anybody please advise on this matter?
With regards

Hello @Leszek_Kotzian,
AlmaLinux is not one of our supported operating systems. However, it looks like you need to install perl DBI::mysql from our repo, and update dbd::mysql to the latest versions. This is not an issue with pt-heartbeat, but an issue with your perl install.
