Welcome to Perl land ;-)

For starters I don't think you need a DBI book - there is very much online about it, and the DBI documentation is quite a good start.

I don't quite understand your security problem, could you describe what's the problem, and how you want to improve your situation?

It seems like you want to add another software layer, and hope that it improves security. Usually that doesn't work. It sounds like adding more walls to house to increase stability, when in fact the base needs to be reinforced.

(BTW you can add paragraphs to your nodes with the <p> tags, that helps to improve readability. See Writeup Formatting Tips for details.)

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":


  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
    a, abbr, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, details, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, ins, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, spoiler, strike, strong, sub, summary, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, wbr
  • You may need to use entities for some characters, as follows. (Exception: Within code tags, you can put the characters literally.)
            For:     Use:
