Fellow monk,

this isn't too tricky actually, it being firstly about the only question so far that I have been able to answer grins and secondly about the first thing I did with Perl when I learned it all of six months ago! If you go to the great library in the sky, CPAN and look up database modules and then click on the listing of modules by category and look for DBM.pm (or just click here) you can download DBI.pm.

BUT best of all Perlmonks has, under the heading of tutorials, lots of tricks 'n' tips on fiddling with databases. Go here.

This was a public service broadcast brought to you by Elgon. Thankyou.
