The DBI is the standard database interface module for Perl. It defines a set of methods, variables and conventions that provide a consistent database interface independent of the actual database being used.

ORMs convert results from a database to objects and back again; so you don't have to write SQL. Perl has several ORMs which use DBI: DBIx::Class and Rose::DB::Object are two of the most commonly used.
