Typically people either know this and dont need to be told or they dont know it and dont care :) So it's almost like screaming at a wall.

You are deluding yourself. The DBI interface has been around for 15 years. And you are the first person to see this 'need'?

And I would not have had to write DBIx::DBH in order to work with Rose::DB and DBI interchangeably.

Have you looked inside Rose::DB?

Have you looked at all the code and utterly pointless machinations it goes through in dealing with that hash in order to do what? To tack all the bits together into a string and pass it on to DBI!

And what does it achieve? Nothing! Just a couple of hundred extra lines of code that complicate the interface and slow things down for no net gain whatsoever.

Rose::Db is essentially a wrapover DBI. And you're writing a wrapover that wrapover so that you can "use them interchangably".

Sir! Your logic is flawed. Even though you cannot see it. Your logic is flawed.

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
