Multiple directories for 'f_dir' parameter for DBD::File (especially DBD::CSV)

Hi all,

in an application (I call it App::Automated::Letter) I will process
some "csv databases"
(OpenOffice.org/Excel exported files). I'd like to allow the
application to find the
appropriate csv file (table name for automated letter processing run
will be specified
per run or on command line) in a list of directories (e.g. ['.',
'$HOME/Documents',
'$HOME/Letter', ...]).

I'd like to point on the field of operation: desktop end users -
totally different from
administrators, operators etc. :)

Would anyone mind when I patch DBD::File to accept a list of
directories in f_dir
and search for a matching db-file in this list?

I thought about using an 'f_dir_list', too - but there're always users
who would try to
specify both and than a behavior must exist for such a situation. If
the 'f_dir_list'
is preferred - such a behavior must be defined, too.

Best regards,
Jens
