Also Paul DuBois has a great book "MySQL" published by "New Riders" which
includes section on Perl DBI and MySQL. Great book for MySQL in general,
plus it covers all of DBI and MySQL.

I don't know where there's a good tutorial on building web
applications using Perl and MySQL, but I can suggest downloading
and installing DBI and DBD::mysql and once they're installed
reading the perldocs on them:
perldoc DBI
perldoc DBD::mysql
maybe these are the perldocs you are reading already :-)
The "Learning Perl" book by Randal L. Schwartz & Tom Christiansen
has a whole chapter on CGI Programming, as does the "Perl Cookbook",
and I would highly recommend the book "Programming the Perl DBI" if
you plan to do any database interaction with Perl. All these books
are excellent books - just my opinion.
