You got a point here.

My reply, anyway, was triggered by this paragraph of gmax posting...

I am posting this warning because I have seen some SOPWs where people were using this particular idiom.

...and triggered that consideration of mine, which is general and not limited to DBI, that version n.m+1 shouldn't break any code that works with n.m. In case something could be broken, one should choose a new M>>m, obviously IMHO. No attempt to blame to DBI people there ;-)

Ciao!

Update: Edited the HTML, misplaced tag

# Another Perl edition of a song:
# The End, by The Beatles
END {
  $you->take($love) eq $you->made($love) ;
}
