Sure it's a great option but sometimes your business complexity demands not only database queries but remote sockets connection, complex iteration over result sets, doing some regex over the values, etc. Doing this kind of stuff with Perl feels a lot more comfortable.

Sounds like you are doing lots of database queries and doing that from a
C module will always be more difficult than using a DB abstraction layer
that the one Perl provides.

... or just good old 'sqlops'.

The appearance of 'sqlops'[1] effectively obviated the need for writing most modules of this type.

The case for modules remains only in cases where you need novel capabilities in script.  Novel database interactions can be had via 'sqlops' because it is generic and flexible.
