sql module for perl?

[Doomhead]

Anyone know if there is a module for PERL that can access an sql database?

When the devs come out with a stable 5.0, I want to make some web cgi apps that can access and alter the database. I also want to use the web apps to allow users to sign up before they can play on my server (use default status of -2 then webapp will set to 0 once registered. I could use the shell to do this while the server is up using the commands to world.exe but would rather go directly to the db.)

I Googled for mysql and Perl and got this link ... not sure if this is the sort of thing you are looking for

Yeah. DBI/DBD work wonderfully. I usually use DBI via ODBC, since almost all dists. include the ODBC bridge. You can, however, download the DBD for your db (e.g. DBD::mysql) to go directly through your dbms. I posted some code that does just that in another thread (http://www.everquestserver.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=11185&start=15#59285). Feel free to rip it off.
