Yes, it's possible.
What you need is to install Perl database modules (DBI) and Perl driver for
MySQL (DBD::MySQL). Maybe your distribution of perl already contains these.
Then, you can connect to the database and do whatever you need to. I'd
recommend you to read the documentation for DBI (write 'perldoc DBI' in
command line) and then ask for particular problems...
