in thread Mysql and Perl Module

Hello Tospo, the problem is it should be an module we can use for all of our customer scripts. The point is, that we need a module where I can only give a few arguments to it. Is it better to make another sub for the connection ?

    See this example program Re: Open multiple file handles?

    You can easily create a module with a function like this

    sub IntoDbImportCSV { my( $dbiconn, # dbi connection string $colnames, # column names $csvfile, # path to csv file $csvargs, # Text::CSV->new options hash ) = @_; my $dbh = DBI->connect( $dbiconn, undef, undef, { RaiseError => 1, PrintError => 1, }, ); open my($infh), '<', $csvfile ... my $csv_in = ... $dbh->begin_work; my $sth = $dbh->prepare($sql); while ( my $row = $csv_in->getline( $infh ) ) { $sth->execute( @{ $row } ); } $dbh->commit; $dbh->disconnect; } IntoDbImportCSV( 'dbi:SQLite:dbname=temp.test.sqlite', '/path/to/foo.cvs', ['ro', 'sham', 'bo' ], { quote_char => '"', sep_char => ',', allow_loose_escapes => 1, empty_is_undef => 1, binary => 1, auto_diag => 1, }, );

    The ideal situation for that scenario is that your module takes some sort of config file with the DSN for the databse connection so that you can ship it with a tailor-made config file for each of your customers.
    Look at something like Config::General to handle such a config.
    Alternatively, you could make the DSN an argument that needs to be supplied by the user when running this script.
    If you have a lot of stuff to do with that database then it would also be worth exploring something like DBIx::Class to handle your database in a much more abstract way.
