[San-Diego-pm] Perl & MySQL

[Christopher Hahn]

That would beat a network monitor.

I am not sure what "my company detected MySQL running" means
though, and it could be a company-required app that, along with whatever
else it does, scans the system for installed softwares.

That would require a switch to an allowed DB.

...but I love the suggestion, and hope that the company is enlightened.
