The way I learned, and the reference I still use is Anthony Butcher's _Teach Yourself MySQL in 21 Days_ from SMS, which has a fairly decent chapter on DBD::mysql as well as being for my money the best general intro to MySQL. The _Perl Cookbook_ also has a quick and dirty intro to DBI and DBD::MySQL, and if you're going to be regularly using perl to solve database problems, _Programming the Perl DBI_ is indispensible.
