README file for DBIx::Broker This Perl module provides a cleaner and more manageable API to use for interaction with DBI-compatible databases. Queries, updates, inserts, counts, deletions, and even arbitrary SQL statements can be executed in one line of top-level code, rather than the usual three or four that contain that ugly ->prepare() and ->execute() clutter. SELECT row results may be retrieved either all at once (returned as an array of hash/arrayrefs, unless only one column's values are desired) or incrementally (a hash/arrayref at a time). It is also possible to print debugging messages (the raw SQL statements) to any valid handle. To install this module, use the standard Perl installation procedure: perl Makefile.PL make make test make install Then, to view the full documentation, type perldoc DBIx::Broker
