at the public library, find a copy of:

Programming the Perl DBI
Alligator Descartes and Tim Bunce
O'Reilly & Associates, ISBN 1-56592-699-4

[phranque]

a short guide to DBI [perl.com] is a good place to start.
the authoritative source is [dbi.perl.org...] which is essentially tim bunce's online resource for that book.
on cpan there are html and powerpoint versions of the slides for tim's Advanced Perl DBI talk [search.cpan.org].
