• The original question was somewhat vague in terms of requirements
• I provided a generic template using methods that I knew would be available without knowing the version of DBI in use
• You are at liberty to dislike my solution
• Constructive criticism might have been a better approach

Many Internet Service Providers (ISPs) take the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" approach. For instance, the ISP I moved from almost a year ago still uses a version of DBI that does not support the selectall_hashref() method.
