Hello Perl Monks!

Does DBI/DBD-MySQL support named placeholders?

from cpan:
Some drivers also allow placeholders like :name and :N (e.g., :1, :2, and so on) in addition to ?, but their use is not portable.

code like this:

    $sth = $dbh->prepare('SELECT * FROM modules WHERE module LIKE :m A
+ND code LIKE :c');
    $sth->bind_param(':m', "%v%");
    $sth->bind_param(':c', "%x%");
    $rv = $sth->execute;

It doesn't work, maybe incorrect syntax.

? placeholders becomes total mess if you have more then 30 of them and have to calculate order

I found 2003 year post here that tells that DBD-mysql doesn't support named placeholders. Did anything change?

PHP/PDO does have named placeholders: 
<?php
/* Execute a prepared statement by binding PHP variables */
$calories = 150;
$colour = 'red';
$sth = $dbh->prepare('SELECT name, colour, calories
    FROM fruit
    WHERE calories < :calories AND colour = :colour');
$sth->bindParam(':calories', $calories, PDO::PARAM_INT);
$sth->bindParam(':colour', $colour, PDO::PARAM_STR, 12);
$sth->execute();
?>
