This is why DBIx::Class maintains extremely careful backwards compatibility between releases, even though we're younger and more actively developed than Class::DBI. Then again, there's no "ours is not to ask why" in DBIx::Class - it's a community project with heavy involvement from a large team of committers and contributors. I have a lot of respect for Tony technically, but I can't see the point of an open source project without community involvement myself - DBIC wouldn't be nearly as good as it is without the contributions of the rest of the team, and Class::DBI seems to have been going slowly downhill in terms of stability and compatability since Tony withdrew from the community. -- Matt S Trout Offering custom development, consultancy and support Technical Director contracts for Catalyst, DBIx::Class and BAST.
