perl-DBI security update

The DBI is the standard database interface module for Perl.It defines a set of methods, variables and conventions that providea consistent database interface independent of the actual database being used.It is important to remember that the DBI is just an interface.The DBI is a layer of "glue" between an application and one or more database driver modules.It is the driver modules which do most of the real work. The DBI provides a standard interface and framework for the drivers to operate within.
