Re: Suggestions on which poe DBI module to use

It's been a while since I looked at all of these.  I have some code 
using EasyDBI and other code using SimpleDBI.

Initially EasyDBI was the only one I could get to work on both Linux and 
Windows.  As of version 1.27 SimpleDBI also works on both platforms.  
EasyDBI seems to offer a few more specialized ways to get data back 
('single' for example), but you can get the same info with either 
module.  My very limited benchmarking of the two modules yielded 
comparable results. 

I haven't looked at LaDBI or DBIAgent in a long while so I can't really 
comment other than to say that when I looked at them they wouldn't run 
on Windows.
