Still open, new date where it's planned for? I meanwhile
updated some docs, so major changes will not be done by
me anymore.

Still open, new planned date? Nice place for some pod might
be DBD::CSV, because neither DBD::File nor DBI::DBD::SqlEngine
is capable of neat $dbh->{csv_tables} and DBD::DBM fails for
anything else but "DataSource::FileSystem" ([GNS]DBM_File open
the file, not anyone else).

Uploaded a few minutes ago (86 PASS, 0 FAIL looked reasonable
