I'm modifying a perl script script that is constantly monitoring a server for specific traffic and dumping certain things to a mySQL database. I also want it to insert some of that data into a SQL database on a different server. Does perl include functions for connecting to SQL or do I need to install an extra module for it?

If you want to go with a pure perl solution, you can try "dbiproxy" - I'm not sure if it comes with the DBI module - if not, then it comes with Bundle:
BI. I believe your can read about DBD:roxy by doing 'perldoc DBD:roxy'. This is also described in "Programming the Perl DBI" book by Descartes & Bunce.
The database you're using might support remote access already - I know Oracke, MySQL and PostgreSQL all do. If you're using DBI already with the DBD for your database, then read the perldocs on the DBD for your database to see if it supports remote access. For DBD::mysql do
perldoc DBD::mysql
