Hi,
I do not think this would be possible. Infact, the DBI module connects to the Mysql server as a client. It is then impossible for the server to signal the client that something has changed. This would even be contrary to the basic philosophy of Client-Server paradigm.

I do not know for mysql, but in postgresql you can add triggers, and even write them in Perl; then again you have to have access to the database structure...

Cheers
