The canonical answers are DBD::Mock (for a more purist solution) and DBD::SQLite (for a more practical solution). DBIx::Class (the current "premier Perl ORM", whatever that means) uses DBD::SQLite for all of its testing needs. This means you have a huge corpus of prior art to work from.
Note: DBD::SQLite implements a subset of ANSI SQL. This means that you will not be able to test things like triggers, views, stored procedures, etc. Nor will you be able to test usage of DBMS-specific functions or keywords (such as LIMIT, CONNECT BY, etc). For that, you will need to use DBD::Mock.
My criteria for good software:
- Does it work?
- Can someone else come in, make a change, and be reasonably certain no bugs were introduced?
-

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
