C++ newbie, MySQL libraries?

Hello all,

I'm a perl freak picking up Visual C++. While I'm not really getting into the 'windows' part of it yet (I'm just making little console/terminal apps) I have a few questions to clear a fog:

Has anyone here connected to a MySQL database using C++? What libraries do I need to include? Can I get these libraries for free (probably from the MySQL website?)

Has anyone out there written a library of functions that emulate perl's behaviours? In particular, it would be useful if there were an Array class, with push, pop, shift and unshift methods to interact with.

Is there a regex library? One that allows the developer to NOT parse strings char by char, but merely provide a regex and allow some libraries to do the chugga-chugging.

And finally, any good books you can recommend on learning how to develop windows apps in C++ would be helpful.

Thanks.

--Jim
