To quote my favorite Marine Drill Seargeant: "What kind of disorganized grabastic question is that?"

Returning to my kindly Perl-Monkish helpful personality:

Check this out:

#!/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use DBI;

my $dbh = DBI->connect("DBI:mysql","user","password")
  or die $DBI::errstr;
$dbh->execute("create database blah") 
  or die $dbh::errstr;

As for "seeing" the database that depends on what you mean by that.
