perl-Ima-DBI

Ima::DBI attempts to organize and facilitate caching and more efficient use
of database connections and statement handles by storing DBI and SQL
information with your class (instead of as seperate objects). This allows
you to pass around just one object without worrying about a trail of DBI
handles behind it.
One of the things I always found annoying about writing large programs with
DBI was making sure that I didn't have duplicate database handles open. I
was also annoyed by the somewhat wasteful nature of the
prepare/execute/finish route I'd tend to go through in my subroutines. The
new DBI->connect_cached and DBI->prepare_cached helped a lot, but I still
had to throw around global datasource, username and password information.
So, after a while I grew a small library of DBI helper routines and
techniques. Ima::DBI is the culmination of all this, put into a nice(?),
clean(?) class to be inherited from.
