Programming the Perl DBI
(amazon blurb)
At 350 pages, Programming the Perl DBI is 60 percent text--filled
with highly annotated Perl code--and 40 percent appendices covering a
detailed specification of DBI and 3-to-5-page descriptions of each of
the 14 supported databases. Brevity is a large component of this book's
wit. Clarity is the rest of it. --Peter Leopold
