DBI is the perl widgetry used to interface with the various databases. 
That link is the best capsule guide to DBI I've run across.  The
O'Reilly DBI book is slated to come out in January.

You can't use DBI with FileMaker directly, but DBI can speak ODBC (sort
of a lowest-common denominator database language), and so it could be
made to work with FileMaker 5.
