I would not characterize perl-DBI as being slow, in general.

I would say that embedding SQL in any programming gives you flexible and 
powerful access to your database.  But that other techniques and tools could 
give you faster performance in specific narrowly-defined situations (e.g. a 
bulk data loading tool to load data from a file).

Also, in DBI, as with many large packages, there are many ways to do the same 
thing.  Package features can be used sub-optimally.  The following link provide 
advice on how to use Perl-DBI optimally:

Subject: Is Perl-DBI Slow?


I've heard that perl-DBI is slow. Is this true? If so, is it because of
Perl being an interpreted language?
