I think you are way too correct, google only came up with a
million possibles on mySQL and Perl...
So let's start with first things first.
perldoc perl
will get you the index local to your machine of the currently
available documentation in perl about perl - so read your
way through that first - and see if you can map over what
you know about programming in C++ to the OO way in perl.
What you will also learn in that process is that most good
perl modules come with their own documentation, known as POD
and so you will be able to do things like
perldoc DBI
to learn about the DBI module. You should also know that
perldoc FOO::BAR
is about the FOO::BAR module - as in say
DBD::mysql
Then really, honest, no kidding
a) use the -w flag
b) use strict;
we are not joking. perldoc strict will help explain some of it.
http://mysql.turbolift.com/mysql/DBD_3.21.X.php3
can help you with some of it.
YES, you will want to become friends with CPAN,
http://search.cpan.org/
So crack the 'how to perl' first, then the mySql side,
then the CGI....
