I have a PC running Windows 98 SE with an Apache Server, ActiveState's 
Perl distribution, and MySQL up and running.  I using this system as a 
tool to teach myself some aspects of webdevelopment.  I'm very new to 
Perl but I can write CGI scripts that can take information from an HTML 
form and do simple tasks with it.  I would like to use MySQL to store 
information between sessions but I'm stumbling on how to use Perl to 
communicate with MySQL.  I know it can be done but I'm at a loss as to 
where to get started.  Could someone point me to a web-resource to get 
me going?
