Hello Magnus,

Look in your MySQL distribution directory and see in the 'tests'
-directory. There you can find some programs that use perl and DBI to
connect to a MySQL database. If you have a new distribution ( >=
3.22.23b / >= 3.23) you can find for programs like 'pmail' and
'mail_to_db.pl'. These are quite a good examples.

Regards,

- Jani

Ps. See also "mysql_distribution/bench/" directory.
