I'd like a discussion on DBI. I think anyone could benefit from a discussion on
using Perl to connect to databases, and the DBI module makes this a wonderful
thing. I think beginners and gurus alike would gain, and maybe we could make the
discussion two parts. The beginner side could be how to get, install, and use the
module; the guru side could be something like building an example database-driven
web site with DBI and Perl.

Since Nat Torkington was at the last meeting, perhaps some of the morsels in the
Perl Cookbook deserve discussion. I'm sure there are several clever snippets of
Perl code among us for tasks like updating files in place, handling logs, or
taking over the world to name a few.
