yeah, in perl its called DBI/DBD I just don't like informix/UniVerse and would have prefered to use mysql.
No biggie, Perl DBI supports Informix and ODBC so I can do it in perl.

IIRC, there is one for php named AODBC (could be thinking of something else though). It simply makes your calls to a database lookup/write all look the same and you simply pass one variable that tells the actual routines which are doing the conection what type of database you are connecting to. If I have the name wrong, I apologize. I know that I had to set it up when I was setting up snort with ACID. I can't imagine that perl wouldn't have a similar module with similar functionality.
