I'm in the middle of porting a DBIx::Class based application to the firebird database, and thus DBD::InterBase.

On insert statements I get the error message 

Can't locate DBI object method "last_insert_rowid" via package "DBD::I
+nterBase::db" at /usr/share/perl5/DBIx/Class/Storage/DBI.pm line 1275
+.

which means that DBD::InterBase doesn't seem to support the last_insert_id method as DBIx::Class expects.

Ironically during the build process a file InterBase.xsi is generated, which contains such a method: 

#ifdef dbd_db_last_insert_id

void
last_insert_id(dbh, catalog, schema, table, field, attr=Nullsv)
    SV *        dbh
    SV *        catalog
    SV *        schema
    SV *        table
    SV *        field
    SV *        attr
    CODE:
    {
    D_imp_dbh(dbh);
    ST(0) = dbd_db_last_insert_id(dbh, imp_dbh, catalog, schema, table
+, field, attr);
    }

#endif

So there seems to be support for last_insert_id, but it's not enabled. How can I enable it? If I simply remove the #ifdef and #endif lines from that file, I get this message many times during make test: 

install_driver(InterBase) failed: Can't load '/home/moritz/tmp/DBD-Int
+erBase-0.48/blib/arch/auto/DBD/InterBase/InterBase.so' for module DBD

+nterBase/InterBase.so: undefined symbol: dbd_db_last_insert_id at /us
+r/lib/perl/5.10/DynaLoader.pm line 196.

Or is there any other simple way to get DBIx::Class + DBD::InterBase working, without digging deep into both and writing a DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::Interbase module or so?
