📝 DESCRIPTION

This bundle includes all the modules used by the Perl Database Interface (DBI) module, created by Tim Bunce.

A Bundle is a module that simply defines a collection of other modules. It is used by the CPAN module to automate the fetching, building and installing of modules from the CPAN ftp archive sites.

This bundle does not deal with the various database drivers (e.g. DBD::Informix, DBD::Oracle etc), most of which require software from sources other than CPAN. You'll need to fetch and build those drivers yourself.
