The difference between modules Apache::DBI and DBI is that one (your guess) is designed with using the Apache Web Server in mind and does lots of great tricks if you are using database connections in that environment (one db connect per Apache child, overrides certain methods sensibly) The DBI module is what you need to have a database interface in a vanilla scripting environment. ===
