To the contrary, I've cobbled together functional programs with mysql and have used DBI in the past. In fact, I've worked fairly extensively with databases and basic web development. I've read good chunks of books on databases 20 years ago. But it's not something I use everyday or need to use everyday and anything I learn quickly dissipates until 6 months or a couple years later when I want to work on a project I'm interested in.

Again, I'm not a full-time, professional programmer. I'm not even a part-time programmer. I'm barely an enthusiast. I could avoid making amateurish mistakes by becoming a professional programmer, but that's not my objective. Yup, I am pretty clueless on many things and have only vague ideas on what goes on under the hood. I know enough to be dangerous. I also know enough to get a sense that what I'm doing doesn't quite feel right but I'm not sure what other better, alternative approaches might exist. That's why I appreciate the feedback I get here. I always learn a lot at PerlMonks.

My sole objective is to become as efficient as possible at writing my own programs for my own use that I'm happy with and ones that I don't have to abandon because they are spaghetti code or bug ridden and that aren't too tedious or confusing to write and maintain. And I get a good amount of pleasure encountering the many puzzles programming presents and figuring them out. That's good enough for me.

Thanks for the feedback. Have a good day, bud.
