FYI, DBD::MySQL does support SSL. See
http://search.cpan.org/~rudy/DBD-mysql-2.9004/lib/DBD/mysql.pm
and search for mysql_ssl. You'll need to provide
mysql_ssl_client_key
mysql_ssl_client_cert
mysql_ssl_ca_file
as part of the DSN on the perl side, and set ssl-ca,
ssl-key, and ssl-cert on the server.
There's more on the subject at mysql.com:
