| 3 | This layer provides commonly-used perl related recipes such as perl libraries |
| 4 | in the Comprehensive Perl Archive Network. |

| 12 | -- libdbi-perl -- |
| 13 | The DBI is a database access module for the Perl programming language. |
| 14 | It defines a set of methods, variables, and conventions that provide |
| 15 | a consistent database interface, independent of the actual database |
| 16 | being used. |

| 29 | -- libdbd-sqlite-perl -- |
| 30 | DBD::SQLite is a Perl DBI driver for SQLite, that includes the entire |
| 31 | thing in the distribution. So in order to get a fast transaction capable |
| 32 | RDBMS working for your perl project you simply have to install this |
| 33 | module, and nothing else. |
| 34 | |
| 35 | usage: there is a test case to show you how it works |
| 36 | |
| 37 | 1) vim local.conf: |
| 38 | ... |
| 39 | IMAGE_INSTALL_append = " libdbd-sqlite-perl" |
| 40 | PERL_DBM_TEST = "1" |
| 41 | ... |
| 42 | 2) build core-image-sato and boot the target |
| 43 | |
| 44 | 3) run "sqlite-perl-test.pl" on target. This script includes five |
| 45 | operations create/insert/update/delete/select to do with a table. |
| 46 | |
| 47 | More information can be found in the recipe's git log. |

| 49 | Dependencies |
| 50 | ------------ |
| 51 | |
| 52 | This layer depends on: |
| 53 | |
| 54 | URI: git://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core |
| 55 | branch: krogoth |
| 56 | revision: HEAD |

| 59 | Adding the meta-perl layer to your build |
| 60 | --------------------------------------- |
| 61 | |
| 62 | In order to use this layer, you need to make the build system aware of |
| 63 | it. |
| 64 | |
| 65 | Assuming the meta-perl layer exists at the top-level of your |
| 66 | yocto build tree, you can add it to the build system by adding the |
| 67 | location of the meta-perl layer to bblayers.conf, along with any |
| 68 | other layers needed. e.g.: |
| 69 | |
| 70 | BBLAYERS ?= " \ |
| 71 | /path/to/oe-core/meta \ |
| 72 | /path/to/layer/meta-perl \ |
| 73 | |
