I don't want to learn PHP right now, and I know MySQL can be used with Perl. However, I do not know how to use it with Perl at all. I just would like to know how to use it, in a basic script for any purpose. I have a Perl book, but it only tells me how to use Perl with the Win32::ODBC Module. Could someone please give me a general description of how to use Perl with MySQL? Thanks in Advance.

I've used it once ... from the mysql website, you can download the perl module for mysql, or if your on windows you can find the PPM for it (as well as the dbi/dbd which are also needed) Once you get that going, it's a piece of cake - all the same code between mysql/oracle/etc. Can't help that much because i'm behind a firewall now, but if you do ppm search, you can search for the modules to install.
