Re: Submitting patches?

There is no pumpkin holder per se, but I manage the CVS archive. If you
send me a crypted password and a username, I can give you write-access to
the CVS archive so you can submit your patches directly.

As far as whether someone is working on something similar to DBD::JDBC, I
would suggest that you run this idea by an appropriate DBI mailing list to
see if anything similar is in the works. I know that Alligator Descartes
(a DBI developer and coauthor of Programming the Perl DBI) has done some
work similar to JPL, so perhaps he might have some insights into what can
be done with Java, Perl, JDBC, and DBI:
