Re^2: use Mysql; vs. use DBI;

Exactly where in the docs for DBD::mysql did you read that you should use DBD::mysql? Everytime I've read it, it told me to use DBI.

It was implied that you actually `use DBI`. Unless you want to add `DBD::mysql` as well, if you really want to. But you're missing the point of my post. The OP was asking about whether Mysql.pm or DBI.pm is better. I said that DBD::mysql was the better option, and anyone who has just skimmed the DBI documentation knows that the drivers reside in the DBD::* modules. ~Thomas~ I believe that the source code to life is written in Perl :-)	[reply] [d/l] [select]
