## 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](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/DBD%3A%3AInformix/markdown), [DBD::Oracle](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/DBD%3A%3AOracle/markdown)
    etc), most of which require software from sources other than CPAN. You'll need to fetch and
    build those drivers yourself.
