I assume you can connect to that DSN from a standard Perl DBI call:

    perl -MDBI -le "DBI->connect( \
	qq{dbi:mysql:dbname=test_found;host='my.postgres.server':5432} \
	) and print qq{OK!}"

Why do you have single quotes in the DSN? Have you tried without them?
Why do you call out the port when 5432 is the standard for a remote
host?
