This all strikes me as somewhat odd, since there is a --ssl flag which one can use to build DBD::mysql with SSL support. Unfortunately, I've never personally figured out how to actually utilize it, but maybe others are more knowledgeable...

Something else to check out is Stunnel. It creates SSL tunnels between hosts without requiring logins (basically port redirection). Also, MySQL has built in SSL now, so you might want to look at that.

like:
Something else I have done in the past was to use Cygwin to create an SSH session with the remote computer and use the remote computer's MySQL client/tools.
If you are used to working in a "Terminal Server" session (I think they now call it "Remote Desktop Connectivity") it will feel very familiar. I also fiddled around with Cygwin long enough and hard enough (translate: I spent lots of time reading groups and docs and experimenting) to enable me to create local X windows so that I could run a full GUI shell (GNOME or KDE, I can't remember) remotely. Please don't ask me how I got it all set up as I only did it once and it was a long while ago. I know it's possible because I did it and it worked well for my situation.
