I'm really interested in learning how to use mySQL with Perl, but I can't really find any place to get started. Can anyone recommend any resources or tutorials?

Two books published by New Riders were very helpful...
Paul DuBois was the Author I believe.
MySQL
- A must have in my opinion. A good function reference for the Perl DBI using DBD::MySQL. Also goes into how to interface perl w/ MySQL.
Perl and MySQL
- Smaller, but with a narrower focus and examples focusing on web based Perl CGI scripts incorporating MySQL using the DBI module. Also helps you develop your own module for your own repetitive tasks - like connecting.

I would second Jim's opinion of "MySQL" by Paul Dubois - excellent book! I think I've seen recently a post by Paul that he has written another book along the lines of Perl/MySQL/Web Programming - based on my like of his MySQL book, I wouldn't hesitate to buy another one that he's written.
