I quick search on google for "automate mysql backup perl dbi"
revealed this as one of the 1st 5 links:
http://www.csc.liv.ac.uk/~u2pj/SQL_Perl.htm
Check out "RW MySQL Dump" - looks to me like it might be just what
you're looking for. Or if you still want to do it yourself, just
reading its description might put you on the right track.
You'll get more help here if you actually try to help yourself first -
at least make an effort to find some information *before* you ask for
help.
