It would be nice to keep things close to DBI where it makes sense, but this seems like a good opportunity to, like Perl 6, keep the good stuff and replace the cruft. That's a tall order, of course, which makes me wish we had started this thread about 10 years ago. You know, that time when Perl 6 was just about to be released. :) - -- Greg Sabino Mullane [email protected] PGP Key: 0x14964AC8 201612091037 http://biglumber.com/x/web?pk=2529DF6AB8F79407E94445B4BC9B906714964AC8 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iEYEAREDAAYFAlhK0IMACgkQvJuQZxSWSsiovgCfYh2EzviPiTkQ/ADCVuteifBw FOwAnRhcoKx1jA5VfJwAXzxQtWTcNPGQ =9JzH -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
