I felt the same when I came across this during my research. I didn't 
have a great deal of luck in my initial efforts to reach out. It seems 
like Oracle/MySQL have lost a lot of interested in DBD::mysql (hence my 
post about this a couple of months back). However, it does appear that 
some activity has come back. I'm not sure if anyone looked at my patch, 
but I have since realised that there was a lot more amiss. DBD::mysql 
really needs to be updated for proper MySQL *5* support.

I was talking to Peter about extra hacking sessions at our last Perl 
meet. I'll make sure this is on the agenda.
