DBI is a perl module for database interaction.  a DBD module must go along
with it for whichever database backend you're using, such as DBD::Pg, or
DBD::mysql, and so on.

they're all available from cpan (cpan.org).

-tcl.

    DBI is perl's database abstraction layer.  You use it to make perl
talk to databases.
