[thelist] perl vs php with mysql?

[Katherine Spice]

Although it might be worth noting than the Perl Mysql module the author
refers to has since been superseded by the DBI and DBD modules (DataBase
Independent and DataBase Dependent).  This means that you can take the
perl script you wrote to talk to a Mysql db, change the DBD module, and
use it against another database (eg Oracle).
