in reply to RFC: Transactions.pm

Personally, I don't like the package global. I'd prefer something like

    my $dbh = DBI->connect(...);

    transaction $dbh, {
        for (1..10) {
            my $sth = $dbh->prepare(...);
            $sth->execute() or rollback;
        }
    };

or even

    transaction($dbh) {
        # code
    };

to make it look like a for block. I have no idea how to make that work, though.

Also, an additional idea would be to catch die's in the handler and make them execute rollback (which would make your transactions a bit like exceptions).

    I would prefer that too! But Perl 5's prototypes don't allow that syntax. It requires the "sub" keyword then. I'm not sure if I want that.

    Already does that, and has always done that :)
