CPAN page w/code, documentation, examples, & tests: GBPVR::CDBI
So, what is it? It's an API written in perl (using Class::DBI) for accessing the gbpvr.mdb (and videoarchive and rectracker mdb's, too). Basically hides all of the SQL necessary to read/write from the db, and treats all database rows as objects.
Why? So writing gbpvr utilities using perl is easy .. why perl? Because i know it well (as opposed to .net) and it's fun ;) and perl can be very powerful and quick to code ... Also as a coding excercise and something to contribute to CPAN.
GBPVR::CDBI is at v0.03 as of this posting.

I'm very interested in and looking forward to comments re: the code, feature ideas/requests, and implementations ...
thanks!
