Package: libapache-dbi-perl (1.07-1)

Connect apache server to database via perl's DBI

These modules are supposed to be used with the Apache server together with an embedded perl interpreter like mod_perl. They provide support for basic authentication and authorization as well as support for persistent database connections via Perl's Database Independent Interface (DBI).

 o AuthDBI.pm provides authentication and authorization:
   - optional shared cache for passwords to minimize database load
   - configurable cleanup-handler deletes outdated entries from the cache

 o DBI.pm provides persistent database connections:
   - connections can be established during server-startup
   - configurable rollback to ensure data integrity
   - configurable verification of the connections to avoid time-outs.
