There are a few minor wrinkles, but overall the DBI module still works the same way. It's good, don't mind the age. I've used it almost daily for as long as I've been using perl.

I'd suggest installing DBD::SQLite as well, so you'll have an embedded SQL server for your application to experiment with. Then add the drivers for any other databases you want. (I find DBD::ODBC to be adequate for 95+% of my database work.)

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
