I recently used DBIx::Class in a very simple command-line script that
reads files from the filesystem and stuffs them into the database.

I looked roughly like this:

  #!/usr/bin/perl

  use strict;
  use warnings;
  use utf8;
  use File::Slurp qw(slurp);

  use MessageID::DB;

  my $schema=MessageID::DB->connect('dbi:Pg:dbname=message-id', 'USER', 'PASSWD', { AutoCommit=>1, pg_enable_utf8=>1 });

  my $transaction=sub {
      while(my $filename=<>) {
          chomp $filename;
          my $article=slurp($filename);
          my $message_id=extract_message_id($article, $filename);
          $schema->resultset('Article')->create({ message_id=>$message_id, article=>$article });
      }
  };

  $schema->txn_do($transaction);

It is trivial, but you asked for something that doesn't use Catalyst and
is small (I left out the helper-sub and the error-checking) :-)

Maybe if you show what you have tried and describe what you wanted, it
is easier to get help.
