I'm not familier with the Mysql module. I'd suggest checking out DBI. DBI is an abstraction layer that allows you to connect to several different popular databases. Here's a quick example on using it with MySQL:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use DBI;

my $dsn = "DBI:mysql:host=somehost;database=db-you-want";
my $dbh = DBI->connect($dsn,"user","password") or die "Couldn't connec
+t: " . DBI->errstr();

my $query = "SELECT somestuff FROM sometable WHERE somefield='somethin
+g';
my $sth = $dbh->do($query);
while(my $somestuff = $sth->fetchrow()) {
     # do something interesting ...
}
$sth->finish();
$dbh->disconnect();
