Ima::DBI attempts to organize and facilitate caching and more efficient use of database connections and statement handles by storing DBI and SQL information with your class (instead of as seperate objects). This allows you to pass around just one object without worrying about a trail of DBI handles behind it. WWW: http://search.cpan.org/dist/Ima-DBI/ -- Sergey Skvortsov skv@FreeBSD.org
