     -- libdbi-perl --
     The DBI is a database access module for the Perl programming language.
     It defines a set of methods, variables, and conventions that provide
     a consistent database interface, independent of the actual database
     being used.

    -- libdbd-sqlite-perl --
    DBD::SQLite is a Perl DBI driver for SQLite, that includes the entire
    thing in the distribution. So in order to get a fast transaction capable
    RDBMS working for your perl project you simply have to install this
    module, and nothing else.

    usage: there is a test case to show you how it works

    1) vim local.conf:
    ...
    IMAGE_INSTALL:append = " libdbd-sqlite-perl"
    PERL_DBM_TEST = "1"
    ...
    2) build core-image-sato and boot the target

    3) run "sqlite-perl-test.pl" on target. This script includes five
       operations create/insert/update/delete/select to do with a table.

    More information can be found in the recipe's git log.

Adding the meta-perl layer to your build

In order to use this layer, you need to make the build system aware of it.

Assuming the meta-perl layer exists at the top-level of your yocto build tree, you can add it to the build system by adding the location of the meta-perl layer to bblayers.conf, along with any other layers needed. e.g.:

BBLAYERS ?= "

/path/to/oe-core/meta \
/path/to/layer/meta-perl \
