Go to CPAN and get the DBI and DBD for mySQL. They come with enough examples. Go to the Tutorials section, you will find something about DBI.	[reply]

As noted in this node, you'll want to look into using DBI. O'Reilly's Programming the Perl DBI would be an excellent place to start. They also have a book on MySQL in particular.	[reply]

O'Reilly is pushing (on this continent) something they call "LAMP" (Linux, Apache, MySQL and Perl / PHP / Python) as the Open Source framework for dynamic websites. There's a boatload of hype and even some info at http://www.onlamp.com Philosophy can be made out of anything. Or less -- Jerry A. Fodor	[reply]

DBI.pm and BD::mysql come to mind, very quickly. Install DBD::mysql and DBI, and then, specifically look at the DBI doc pages for connect(), do() ,prepare() and execute() -- Jay "Yohimbe" Thorne, alpha geek for UserFriendly	[reply]
