/etc/my.cnf  # for local mysql server configuration

~/.my.cnf    # for user configuration (ie password, server, etc.)

most logically, any perl connection to mysql will have the connection
parameters embedded within the perl statement itself and thus the
settings in /etc/my.cnf or ~/.my.cnf are not meaningful to perl

you probably want to install perl-DBI package and then look at the man
page for DBI
