DBI has been the #Perl #programming language’s standard #database interface module since October 1994 when it was released coincident with version 5.000 of the language. Like Perl itself, it has continued to be a model of #OpenSource development and support.

Prior to #DBI’s adoption, programs needed a bespoke compiled Perl 4 for any particular database system (e.g., #Informix, #Oracle, #Sybase). DBI provided a unified API for application and database driver developers.
A new release of DBI went live today.
