  Hey Roberts, is "John" still around?    
  I'm trying to access SQLite using Perl but cannot for the life of me find out how to connect to the database using IO::Socket (like John did.)  All the info I have found (even on sqlite.org) for connecting to databases uses something like the DBI module all of which are not included with DSL.
  Your PHP examples are great - but using PHP is not really an option for me on this project.   
  I am pretty much just looking for the section of code that John used to create the Socket handle - something like this:
 | Code Sample  |     $sock = IO::Socket::INET->new(                                  LocalAddr => 'localhost',                                  LocalPort => 9000,                                  Proto     => 'tcp'); |  
  But any additional help would be greatly appreciated, as well.
 
  UPDATE: I've spent almost the entire last two days searching for further info and trying other options.  I have searched every Google combination I can think of and cannot find anyone else who has used IO::Socket with SQLite - everyone uses DBI.
  I have also spent much time trying to install the DBI module into DSL...alas, despite reading much of the Wiki, searching this forum, and scouring the Debian and KNOPPIX sites I have not found a combination of install steps that will work.
  If anyone has been able to use Perl 5.8.0 to connect with SQLite  or has successfully imported Perl modules into DSL, I would be ever appreciative of some help.
