If you're using MySQL, take a look at .my.cnf and the other options file (described at the link). I think you can put the password in there and then chmod 600 it.

    And while we are on the subject, here is the corresponding code to use that config file: 
    my $dbh = DBI->connect(
   'DBI:mysql:database:host:mysql_read_default_file=~/.my.cnf',
   undef,undef,
   {RaiseError=>1}
);

    Big thanks to gmax for introducing me to the MySQL config file (and that code) a while back. :)
