I seem to recall a few years ago some discussion about future DBI or driver
development, and that an ideal would be that one could more easily use the
typical C client libraries for different DBMSs from Perl without having to write
any XS necessarily.
Have a look at this:
http://blogs.perl.org/users/joel_berger/2013/05/alienbase-final-report.html
I think that may be a useful tool to actually realize such an effort, and may be
a significant improvement to the process of using databases in Perl. Part of
the project is about being able to install C dependencies of Perl projects as
easily as installing a Perl module.
