You could connect to the mysql database. You don't need any permissions to connect to a database, so this should work out fine. Though, the question remains as to how you will set up the permissions from a perl script. If you can use the mysqladmin, then you could always create the database with "mysqladmin create database foo --user=root --password=xxxxx",
