MySQL & mSQL@ Chapter 10: Perl
The Perl programming language has gone from a tool primarily used by Unix systems administrators to the most widely used development platform for the World Wide Web. Perl was not designed for the web, but its ease of use and powerful text handling abilities have made it a natural for CGI programming. Similarly, when mSQL first entered the scene, its extremely small footprint and execution time were very attractive to web developers who needed to serve thousands of transactions a day. MySQL, with its enhanced speed and capabilities provided an even greater incentive for web developers. Therefore, it was only natural that a Perl interface to both MySQL and mSQL was developed that allowed the best of both worlds.
