If I simply have "$dbh->commit" following the For loop, is that effectively the same as explicitly using transactions?
No; BEGIN WORK (or BEGIN TRANSACTION or just plain BEGIN) starts a transaction in SQL. Then (normally after 1 or more insert/delete/update's) COMMIT commits the transaction (or, when an error occurs, ROLLBACK rolls the transaction back to the state just before the BEGIN).
See DBI's begin_work
(I don't use SQLite; in the above I am assuming SQLite does this the same way that other (RDBMS) databases do)

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
