in reply to Best Perlish way to test if a mysql table exists?
...I don't want to do is use a SHOW TABLES and iterate through the results...
SHOW TABLES accepts a LIKE clause, though it's not clear what versions support it.
The more Perlish way might be to use one of the DBIx:: modules like DBIx::DBSchema to check if each table exists.
