As you can see the "Python Way" is to be rude ;-)

Anyway, your answer is that there are some abstraction layers called
"ORMs". You can grab one of these and write a back end for it.
However, you might first want to look at SQLLite and see if it already
has what you want (e.g. a light-weight, zero-install database
interface).

Clarify :-D.
Well, I think it's pretty clearly troll-bait. Semantics != algorithms 
and Perl (just like Python) has no such poverty WRT specification.

Sounds like someone who learned Python and forgot that it wasn't a 
religion. Too bad, but a disease unique to no particular language. Perl, 
Python, Ruby, C, APL, LISP... they've all had their unpleasant zealots.
