I also use a method like the one that George Shearston
suggested above, though mine is designed as a package module
that is a bit more general-purpose -- you can find it here.
My motivation was the same as yours. The DBI calls are
many and varied and sometimes bulky, and the DBI manual is awfully long reading,
so I just wanted my own "wrapper" module that would have
a handful of always-useful, always compact methods, whose
names and args are easy to remember. I seldom/never need
more than what the wrapper provides, and hardly ever need
to look back at the DBI man page anymore...

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
