This is caused by MySQL's authentication mechanism. It will, I believe, give you the same error whether you are using perl or php or the mysql client on a remote machine. In order to log into the server from a remote client you will have to grant access to a user from the client. You can also grant access to a user from anymachine, but it would be most likely be more secure to limit access. Look at the mysql docs for the GRANT command and it will explain the process better that I ever could.
