MySQL 5.7 Reference Manual

27.9 MySQL Perl API

The PerlDBI module provides a generic interface for database access. You can write a DBI script that works with many different database engines without change. To use DBI with MySQL, install the following:

TheDBI module.
TheDBD::mysql module. This is the DataBase Driver (DBD) module for Perl.
Optionally, the DBD module for any other type of database server you want to access.

Perl DBI is the recommended Perl interface. It replaces an older interface calledmysqlperl, which should be considered obsolete.
