No, sorry.

Yes. Don't attempt to copy any that are already present on box B, and
note that linux-gate.so doesn't actually exist (it's an artefact of the
Linux dynamic loader) so you can't copy that one either.

Easier would be to install perl, DBI and DBD::mysql on box B through
your OS's package system.
