hmm,

the idea is to have the actual methods and whatever way you store and fetch stuff plugable, so, down the line I can say, 

 
my $scheme = 'FooSQL';
my $h = TheDb->new($scheme);

[download]

And, perhaps someone else, with a different setup and wants will go:

 
my $scheme = 'DB_File';
my $h = TheDb->new($scheme);

[download]

having all the subclasses loaded at the same time would be incredibly wasteful and useless, since I may not know exactly what DB (or subclass module) is there.

This may seem like more work, why would you have n ways of doing the same thing? Well, you may not have a Spiffy SQL and are OK with using a plaintext solution, knowing some performance woes.

This is for a very mature, stable app, not a quick 15 minute script.
