title: writing perl script to take mysql incremental backup with mysqldump
body: <p>I am dealing with an incremental backup solution for a mysql database in centos. I need to write a perl script to take incremental backup. then i will run this script by using crontabs. I am a bit confused. There are solutions but not really helping. I did lots of research. there are so many ways to take full backup and incremental backup for files. I can easily understand them but I need to take an incremental backup of a mysql database. I do not know how to do it. Can anyone help me either advising a source or a piece of code.</p>
