You've updated the 'use' line but your script is still trying to call 
mysql->connect() - you need to use the DBI->connect(...) form - see the 
DBI man page for more info.  You'll probably want 'use DBI' instead of 
'use DBD::mysql' - the mysql module is pulled in automatically when you 
tell it to connect to a mysql database.

If you're using an interface that was obsoleted 10 years ago, the only 
option is to rewrite your code!  I should be a fairly straightforward 
change, and the DBI interface is nice and easy to use.
