This is the Perl L<DBI> driver for access to MariaDB and MySQL databases.
The goal of our effort was to fix MariaDB compatibility, Perl Unicode support
and security related bugs.
This Perl DBI driver is a fork of the L<DBD::mysql> driver and was created
because said issues in the original DBD::mysql have not been addressed for more
than a year.
