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.

57Adding the meta-perl layer to your build
58---------------------------------------
59
60In order to use this layer, you need to make the build system aware of
61it.
62
63Assuming the meta-perl layer exists at the top-level of your
64yocto build tree, you can add it to the build system by adding the
65location of the meta-perl layer to bblayers.conf, along with any
66other layers needed. e.g.:
67
68 BBLAYERS ?= " \
69 /path/to/oe-core/meta \
70 /path/to/layer/meta-perl \
71
