Perl

In Chapter 8, "MySQL and Perl," I interface with a MySQL database using Perl. There, I include some URLs to visit for more information, such as:

• The official Perl home page, www.perl.com

• CPAN (Comprehensive Perl Archive Network), www.cpan.org (Figure C.8), where you can get the modules necessary to interact with MySQL

  Figure C.8. To access a MySQL database from a Perl script, you use some of the CPAN modules.

  

• ActiveState, www.activestate.com, where you can download ActivePerl for running Perl on Windows

• DBI Documentation, http://dbi.perl.org (Figure C.9), which contains links to various Perl DBI resources

Figure C.9. The DBI Documentation pages include both Perl and general database information.
