Basically, about all the mentioned databases work very well with perl. But since the databases are built for different purposes, the question is what you want to do with them. If you just want to store and retrieve a little amount of data in single-user mode, Access might be ok (on Windows machines). If you need more data and Multiusermode and Speed is important), but just very standard selects (no views, no stored procedures, no triggers), then mysql might be your choice, or if you need advanced features, use MsSql. If you need a really big ammount of data, use Oracle or DB/2.

Another issue is always what rdbms is available and well known.

I hope, you understand my english, too :-)

Best regards,
perl -le "s==*F=e=>y~\*martinF~stronat~=>s~[^\w]~~g=>chop,print"
