Rookie Programming the Perl DBI..

Hi All,
I am currently interfacing my Perl app with My SQL Server5.0 through
the Perl DBI. I felt confident in what I was doing until today. I was
trying to add a feature where I would need to create a new database in
My SQL... and then realized I had no idea as to how (through Perl and
DBI).
Can I write a Perl application utilizing the DBI to CREATE a database
(not a table)??
Thank you so much for your expertise.
Chris
