What do you want to do with this? 
Administrate a Database via the web?
Authenticate from a database? 
Access a DataBase via a CGI program?

For the first, there are several program already wrote that do that.
for mysql check out MyAdmin.cgi  http://www.tcx.se
 

For Authentication look into mod_perl http://perl.apache.org , 
and the Apache::DBI module (which comes with: 
o AuthenDBI.pm provides authentication
o AuthzDBI.pm  provides authorization
o DBI.pm provides persistent database connections
o DebugDBI.pm enables debugging
) just make sure you have the DBI perl module and DBD module for the
database you use from http://www.hermetica.com/technologia/DBI/ (if not
already installed)

Apache:DBI and DBI, is also good for writting perl programs that
access a databse.

There are similar things "I Think" for python, C ,etc
