Alternative to PERL DBI?

Does anyone know of a good alternative to PERL DBI.pm?

[hiker_jjw]

I've got some PERL scripts that "use DBI;" with a MySQL database. I would like to change to something that's not so CPU intensive. All I typically do with DBI is Connect, Select, and Disconnect; usually only one Select per execute. Does anyone know of a good alternative to PERL DBI.pm?

Thanks

As I mentioned before you might extract those subroutines, and code them into your own scripts :) Either hard code them, or create a custom mini module...

just push @inc, "." so that your current path is in INC, and you'll be all set, if you want your own module that way.

Other than that, I don't know of any alternatives...every perl script I've seen with SQL has used DBI.
