i think there are some gnome projects with that intention, but i don't
know anything about them, and they aren't, so far as i know, bound to
perl. 

it wouldn't be hard to create perl modules to do things like this with
DBI if anyone is interested in a project idea. i've got enough things on
my plate at the moment.
