Your problem is not specific to MySQL, but that you used some bad 
general Perl syntax.

For example, the line that declares "my $uid" is commented out, so 
you get that undeclared variable warning; you need to have an 
uncommented "my $uid;".

Also, you should take this line:

   my ($input_username = "bobob", $input_password = "password")

And change it to (note also the trailing semicolon):

   my ($input_username, $input_password) = ("bobob", "password");

That explains the errors you are getting right now.

Assuming your Perl is version 5.6 or newer (or best, 5.8 or newer), 
you can also put a "use warnings;" at the top of your script like the 
"use strict;", which removes the need for any "-w" flag; easier to 
use in my opinion.
