Last night I remembered (at least partially) the one problem I had with
EasyDBI.
I had some minor problems when connecting to the DB
(http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=36693 and I think something
else that I can't find documented). I worked around it with an eval {
... }; if ($@) {... }

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 (
http://poe.perl.org/?POE_Cookbook/DBI_Helper_Processes). The following
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?
