The CMD window shows it trying to connect to MySQL, but obviously can't
connect without the root login/pass. Is there a way to do this ?

I checked the path variable, it was in there ;C:\mysql\bin
But the world.exe just doesn't want to get out of bed.

[World Server] Loading server configuration..
[World Server] CURRENT_VERSION: 1.1.3
[World Server] Added loginserver 127.0.0.1:5998
[World Server] Connecting to MySQL ...
[World Server] Cannot continue without a database connection.

I use Win 7-64, MySQL 5.1.73 and Perl 5.12.3
But the server I am trying to update from is an old one, (few years ago).
It connects to the DB no problem, so I am stumped, hahaha

As long as you run world.exe within the context of the server directory and your MySQL credentials are correct in the eqemu_config.xml, the eqemu_update.pl script should launch without issue.

Ok, maybe we found an issue here. I double checked the .rar pack, there is no file called eqemu_update.pl included with it.

I download the UPDATED (2-13-2015) STABLE from the post you listed ?

No, the binaries from the update will automatically run eqemu_update.pl and download it if you don't have it. You need to drop the updated binaries as instructed into your server folder and this will occur on its own.

I actually did what the instructions said, I unzipped the whole .rar pack in to my eqemu server folder and let it overwrite all the executables. Then I run the world.exe and that's as far as I got. Is that what you mean ?

Your credentials in your eqemu_config.xml to your MySQL server are wrong, you need to fix it.
