in the Comprehensive Perl Archive Network.

Contents and Help
-----------------

In this section the contents of the layer is listed, along with a short
help for each package.

-- libdbd-sqlite-perl --
DBD::SQLite is a Perl DBI driver for SQLite, that includes the entire
thing in the distribution. So in order to get a fast transaction capable
RDBMS working for your perl project you simply have to install this
module, and nothing else.

usage: there is a test case to show you how it works

1) vim local.conf:
...
IMAGE_INSTALL_append = " libdbd-sqlite-perl"
PERL_DBM_TEST = "1"
...
2) build core-image-sato and boot the target

3) run "sqlite-perl-test.pl" on target. This script includes five
operations create/insert/update/delete/select to do with a table.

More information can be found in the recipe's git log.

Adding the meta-perl layer to your build
---------------------------------------

In order to use this layer, you need to make the build system aware of
it.

Assuming the meta-perl layer exists at the top-level of your
yocto build tree, you can add it to the build system by adding the
location of the meta-perl layer to bblayers.conf, along with any
other layers needed. e.g.:

BBLAYERS ?= " \
/path/to/oe-core/meta \
/path/to/layer/meta-perl \
