Re: How many drives does it have?

I'd agree with Ovid that this is more of a db issue. Since you're using MySQL, you'll probably be interested in O'reilly's "MySQL & mSQL" book. It has a brief section on interacting using DBI, but I think you'll find the areas of most use up in the front of the book, where they talk about proper database design.

IMO, you've singled out the best part of that book (the early chapters on relational DB design). The rest really isn't all that worthwhile. I recommend borrowing that book from a library, if possible, and digesting the first few chapters. Then, if you're using Perl to interact with ANY DBMS, get the DBI book from O'Reilly. This has been another unsolicited review from unky arturo `perl -e 'print "How sweet does a rose smell? "; chomp ($n = <STDIN>); +$rose = "smells sweet to degree $n"; other_name = rose; print "$oth +er_name\n"'` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
