Well ... this is for yet another DBIx module. Something that'd make calling MS SQL stored procedures (since that's all I want from my data access layer, thank you very much) very easy. I have finding the parameters of stored procedures and handling output parameters done, but I can't find a way to handle the optional parameters or even how to find which ones are optional :-(

The code currently goes somewhat like this:

package MyDB;
use DBIx::LazyMethod::MSSQL;
use vars qw(@ISA);
@ISA = qw(DBIx::LazyMethod::MSSQL);

sub new {
    my $class = shift;

    my $db = $class->SUPER::new(
        data_source  => 'dbi:ODBC:jobodbc2',
        user => 'xxx',
        pass => 'xxx',
        attr => { PrintError => 0, RaiseError => 0, LongReadLen => 655
+36, 'AutoCommit' => 1 },
        methods => {
            FetchUserInfo => {
                def => { adminid => 1 },
                ret => '%',
            },
            GetServerMailAddress => '$',
            GetFieldTitle => {
                def => {siteid => undef},
                ret => '$'
            }
        },
    );

    return $db;
}

use MyDB;
my $db = MyDB->new();

print Dumper($db->FetchUserInfo(userid => '577'));

my $email;
$db->GetServerMailAddress(email => $email);
print "\$email = $email\n";

my $title;
$db->GetFieldTitle( fieldtype => 'I', fieldid => 11, fieldtitle => $ti
+tle);
print "\$title = $title\n";

If I could at least find out what parameters are optional and what are the default values I could just call the procedures with all parameters and pass those defaults, but I can't find a way to do that apart from parsing the SQL :-(
