Here you go, just use DBI; while making sure you have DBD::mysql installed.

You can connect to any host that has mysql installed (if you're allowed to access it from outside)

use DBI;
# connect to localhost or remote host by specifying its ip address or 
+hostname
my $HOST = 'x.x.x.x';
# port , usually 3306 
my $PORT = 3306;
# database name 
my $DB = 'somedb';
my $dsn = "DBI:mysql:database=$DB;host=$HOST;port=$PORT";
