I don't have time enough to assist you, but I can tell you that if you're 
already familiar with Perl, then there are tons of tools (modules) to 
interface with both. At work they have a big infrastructure built mainly 
over Class::DBI to which I'm getting used, and the more I get used to it, 
the more I appreciate it, except for some parts for which it ends up being 
too heavy and "direct" DBI access is preferred instead.
