This is Debian GNU/Linux's prepackaged Apache::DBI. This is a set of perl modules which provide connections from a mod_perl enabled Apache to a DBI database. This package was put together by Michael Alan Dorman . The original sources should always be available from the Comprehensive Perl Archive Network (CPAN). Visit to find a CPAN site near you. The only change for the Debian package was the addition of the debian/ files. The Apache::DBI copright is as follows: You may distribute under the terms of either the GNU General Public License or the Artistic License, as specified in the Perl README file. Larry Wall's "Artistic License" for perl can be found in /usr/share/common-licenses/Artistic, and the GPL can be found in /usr/share/common-licenses/GPL-2.
