Is there a module within Perl that has the equivalent functionality of a
JavaBean?
I would like to use this functionality within CGI without having to go using
Java. Thanks!

That depends on what you mean by "equivalent functionality". What are
youy trying to accomplish?

I am attempting to create a module that would allow me to encapsulate
functionality such as retrieving, updating, inserting and deleting data from
a database table. Before creating this module, I wanted to see if there was
a current module that handled this type of functionality or had some of this
functionality so that I would not have to reinvent the wheel. I could
perform this tasks using a JavaBean with JSP but I was hoping to use Perl
instead.

Did you even look at CPAN or the Perl core modules? Good grief. You just
described practically what Perl does best. See the O'Rielly book,
"Programming the Perl DBI."

It's spelt DBI in Perl.

No, the DBI equivalent in Java would more or less be JDBC.

Bean is a form of class that in its most simplistic form just has a few
instance variables, and accessor methods for them. So, what is called
here is a class that would have accessor methods for set of attributes,
and would use database as the persistence layer for that data.
