MySQL uses it's own secure protocol and telnet can not be used to get info directly from it. &nbsp;You generally need an application written in a language with a MySQL driver (Perl and PHP have such drivers) to get info from a MySQL server. &nbsp;The only thing you can do with telnet or SSH is use the command line 'mysql' interface which lets you view info in the database.

Perl is a high-level, general-purpose, interpreted, dynamic programming languages with over 25 years of development. Perl 5 runs on over 100 platforms from portables to mainframes and is suitable for both rapid prototyping and large-scale development projects.  Perl gained widespread popularity as a Common Gateway Interface (CGI) scripting language, in part due to its regular expression and string parsing abilities. In addition to CGI, Perl is used for graphics programming, system administration, network programming, finance, bioinformatics, and other applications.
