I'm in the process of writing IRC Services in Perl. I know most of you won't know anything about IRC in this aspect at least. However what I need help with is being able to store the services' data in a MySQL database. I know absolutely nothing about MySQL. At the moment it's using a flat text file database, and it gets sluggish at points when it starts saving. So I thought it may be easier/faster reading from a MySQL database. Since I know nothing about MySQL, how would I go about: a) creating the "tables" for the services to read, and how to put different bits of data there, and how to call them back without having to foreach through a big list? b) writing the code so perl connects to MySQL and stays connected for the entire time the process is live, so it can read/write data from/to the database c) making a web accessible interface to use the same database as the services, to provide real-time live statistics to the web, to enable website users to view certain portions of the database
