It's been a while since I looked at all of these. I have some code
using EasyDBI and other code using SimpleDBI.
Initially EasyDBI was the only one I could get to work on both Linux and
Windows. As of version 1.27 SimpleDBI also works on both platforms.
EasyDBI seems to offer a few more specialized ways to get data back
('single' for example), but you can get the same info with either
module. My very limited benchmarking of the two modules yielded
comparable results.
I haven't looked at LaDBI or DBIAgent in a long while so I can't really
comment other than to say that when I looked at them they wouldn't run
on Windows.

I've read the cpan module docs and have looked at the cookbook example (

modules all run non-blocking async dbi calls for poe but I'm not sure which
I should choose. I would love to see a pro/con list for these or get some
sort of guidance on which would work better in my network testing app.
I'm sure everyone has favourites out there, but is there any reason to use
one over another in certain scenarios? Are there any drawbacks or things to
watch out for on specific modules?
