Databses

[sauser]

Guys i am really a newbie to perl, but i tsrat getting hang of it. What is driving me crazy is databasing. I tried cpan.org to find some documentations. But could not access the site for some reason. May be somebody of you knows good tutorial on how to do simple commands like Insert Create and such through perl.

Thanks

I've never had any trouble with

http://www.cpan.org.

What database are you using? msql, MySQL, or some other. It can make a big difference. There are some good sites for mysql documentation (ie

http://www.mysql.com).

There are also lots of good books out there, so I hear. Tracy Dryden

ok I just went to cpan it is working again.
It has so many docs. I am kinda getting lost. It is just if somebody could point me in the irght direction. I just need simple databse commands like Insert and Craet how do i do that?

what you should look for is DBI, and you'll also need to get the DBD::mySQL module. after you get and install those two, just type 'perldoc DBI' and that will give you lots to work with. good luck.
