# dh\_perl\_dbi(1)

add dependencies required for DBI modules

## NAME

dh\_perl\_dbi - add dependencies required for DBI modules

## SYNOPSIS

**dh\_perl\_dbi** \[*debhelper options*\]

## DESCRIPTION

dh\_perl\_dbi is a debhelper program that is responsible for adding a dependency on perl-dbdabi-\* to the ${perl:Depends} substitution variable. Such a dependency is required for packages that use the DBD\<\>DBI binary interface; do *not* use this for packages that only use the DBI module.

A debhelper addon is also provided.  This makes it possible to just use

```
  #!/usr/bin/make -f
  %:
          dh $@ --with perl_dbi
```

for *debian/rules*.

Alternatively, since libdbi-perl/1.642-1 you can just build depend on **dh-sequence-perl-dbi** and omit the `"--with perl_dbi"` part.
