Conclusion

In this chapter we reviewed the Perl DBD::mysql package, which allows Perl to connect to MySQL databases. We also showed how to use DBD::mysql to interact with MySQL stored procedures. Perl provides all of the mechanisms necessary for stored procedure processing, although some of these mechanisms were experimental as we wrote this chapter. We'll keep you updated with the status of these extensions at this book's web site.
