in reply to Choosing a database for a new project

If you're keen on learning MySQL with perl, you could do worse than to check out MySQL, author Paul DuBois, published by New Riders.

I've got the book, and use it as a reference nearly every day. I've found it invaluable in teaching me the MySQL basics as well as serving as a reference for those functions / operations I don't use very often.

It's got a chapter on the APIs for C, PHP, and Perl. Great book. Did I mention I like it? ;)

    I'll second that. An awesome book, head and shoulders above the rest.
