in reply to Querying a $dbh
Waaaaaaay down at the end of the DBI perldoc it has a section "Database Handle Attributes" that shows the "published" attributes that are available for pulling out of the $dbh hashref. The first two items in your list are obtainable through the Name and Username keys (and there's a Driver that you can use to retrieve the database driver name the handle is using).
Update: Just to clarify I mean "published" in the sense of "it's explicitly documenting that the hashref for the handle will have those keys and it's implicitly OKing breaking encapsulation to retrieve them".
The cake is a lie.
