schweini has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

has anybody anywhere actually used DBD:Multiplex or seen it in action?
All i can find anywhere are feature-descriptions that make me want to use it even more - but not a single usage-report or documentation.
dbi-users@perl.org can't seem to help, too.

this is starting to get weird - maybe the whole thing's a global conspirancy by little java-beans that are trying to compete with good costa rican arabica beans?
(no, there was no sense in that last sentence)

    It's distributed in the DBI package - http://search.cpan.org/search?mode=module&query=DBD%3A%3AMultiplex - and looking at the source code it looks like it's just a proof of concept thing. I sent Tim a mail asking what happened to it and will write back here when he tells me.

    I suspect he gave up on it because making it work well (for updates at least) would be quite a bit of work. Just think about what to do when an update fails on one of the servers.
