A module, tentatively titled DBIx::Connector, that allows DBI connection information to be stored in private or shared configuration files. This makes it easy to write CGI or commandline scripts that connect to a database with the appropriate permissions, without having to request this information from the user or hardcode the information into scripts or modules. Since it resides in separate text files, the login information is protected by OS-level permissions, and is easily managed by users themselves, with the assistance of some included scripts. It also has several additional benefits, which I would be happy to expand on, if you like.
