Other databases allow one to store comments describing each field in a table
definition. These are stored in the database. In addition, one can store
comments about the table. Examples include MS SQL Server and MS Access.

Does MySQL have such a feature? Is there a GUI to support it? 

What perl or java functions does one use to store and retrieve these
strings?

Thanks,
Siegfried
