Well, while you can replace auth_mysql i think that a "mod_perl" for 
nginx doesn't exists: nginx embedded perl module is used to as an 
internal language to handle special conditions (i mean to write nginx 
config file parts in perl so it can do what you need programmatically).

If nginx_auth_mysql doesn't work, you can give a look to drizzle 
extension, that works with mysql too, to handle authentication.

Here there are links
http://github.com/chaoslawful/drizzle-nginx-module

If you can use pam, here there is a module that ask to pam for 
authentication
http://web.iti.upv.es/~sto/nginx/

(you need pam-mysql in order to use mysql as authentication backend)

In the end there is auth request that authorize an user using a 
subrequest, in this way you could do a little perl script called via web 
(nginx will use a sub-request) that will authorize the client to connect
http://mdounin.ru/hg/ngx_http_auth_request_module

Here some info on how to use it
http://mdounin.ru/hg/ngx_http_auth_request_module/file/a29d74804ff1/README

If mysql will run on the alix i suggest you to use a simple file based 
authentication because will reduce a lot the load of the system.

Regards perl, you need fast-cgi no other way, here some links

Hope this helps,

Best Regards,
Daniele
