Best way to get started with SQL

[jerickson]

I have been thinking about moving my registered user flat file database into a SQL database in anticipation of upgrading my site functionality.

I am a novice at Perl but know enough to be able to figure things out and write scripts.

Can I use mySQL with Perl or do I need to learn PHP? Are there any good resources which would let me experiment with mySQL on hostrocket?

Thanks in advance for your help.

As i know, you can use MySql with Perl

Perl has a module called DBI and it lets you connect to any database by using same methods(that is very good interface).
Check www.perl.com for information.
