dragonchild: "Seekers of Perl Wisdon. The idea is to find out how to do something in Perl. The way most professionals use to interact with DBMs and RDBMs in Perl is to use modules like DB_File and DBI. We tend to not roll our own when a perfectly good solution exists."

Actually i was presenting another option with "rolling your own stuff", not implying to use it but to consider it, nor did i say use it to interact with a DBM or RDBM, i meant more directly.

The way you represent yourself as professional, to draw a difference between you and me, is just childish.

Since we don't know the performance criteria the seeker has, we can do nothing but provide options, and leaving out one is not professional in my view.
