Database in Perl

[nrich239]

I looked at the FAQ and none of the tutorials had anything about using a database with perl.

Anyone got any links to a tutorial or can give me an ovierwiev of how to use, create, and edit databases with perl?

Thanks,
Nate

You want the DBI library, this is the generic perl interface to databases.

This is one of those 'its such a common task no one wrote a tutorial' about it things, thats why your coming up empty.

Search google for 'DBI Tutorial'

Actually, there are four FAQs regarding Database interaction with Perl.

http://search.cpan.org/~rudy/DBD-mysql-2.9003/lib/DBD/mysql.pm

That website details the use of, specifically, DBD::mysql. Good luck, however, trying to install that module. It's been a pain for me...

I install DBD::Mysql all the time, no issues here but its always under unixy OS's.
