The API has tended to shiftB around a bit.

Download and install DBI.pm from CPAN and then do perldoc DBI. This is
the same documentation that's included in the O'Reilly Perl Resource Kit
(in fact, it's more up to date).
I own the PRK and do use the books for some things, although I always
consult the online docs for any modules I use a lot.
Also, Srinivasan's 'Advanced Perl Programming' has some stuff on DBI,
although it's a bit sketchy on that topic. Great book in general, though.
