Skeeve has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

In my environment I use a socks proxy to connect to my database. This works fine for programs like the Java based DBVisualizer. I simply define the proxy in the connection's properties.

But how could I achieve this with perl? I have no clue which additional modules could help here. Or is there, maybe, no module required and a socks-connection is already possible?

Many thanks in advance for any useful hint.
