Perl 5.7.3 Available - please test your DBI drivers with it

It would be very useful if as many people as possible could test
perl 5.7.3 and especially, for us here, get as many DBD drivers
tested as well. Perl 5.8 will be an important release for perl
and we want it to be as successful as possible.

You'll need a DBI >= version 1.14.

And if you get a whole bunch of warnings like "fprintf: incompatible
pointer in argument 1" then your driver author needs to release a new
version that changes fprintf(DBILOGFP,...) to PerlIO_printf(DBILOGFP,...)
Tell them gently, but do tell them :)

Tim.

amounts of fun.
