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.
