Congrats and thanks for working on this. I'm just starting to work with dbi and a resource like this really helps. :)

I really like the links you have up in the documentation section (I can't seem to access the DBI/DBD::mysql/Linux HOW-TO or DBI / MySQL FAQ ones right now though). The demonstrations are also a neat idea.

The only question I have is regarding the link to amazon.com on the main page. I've been seeing a lot of links to amazon on perl related sites lately, is there some reason for this? Shouldn't we boycott them due to their ridiculous patents? Even O'Reilly, who published the book you're linking to, sent a letter to amazon disaproving of the enforcement of the patent. Software patents can do a lot of harm, and I don't think that the Perl community should encourage and support companies that enforce ridiculous patents.
