I'm not sure how to fix the problem; which I why I posted in response to
a point made much later on in the thread, about something else.  See?

I only felt it'd be worthwhile to reply after seeing agreement to Will's
confused post making reference to DBD, and so replied to that agreement.
There would be compile-time[1] DBD errors if a driver was missing, and I
wanted to clear up what seemed to be a misinterpretation of what DBI is.

That's nice.  perldoc DBI was not used in the writing of my e-mail.  My
job's involved working with DBI and DBD::Oracle for over a year now, and
my summary was from that experience, rather than perldoc.

ITYM 'cite'.  And also '(void)', for that matter; 'Void' is the name of
many things, including the machine I'm writing this e-mail on.

- Chris.

[1]: Note to would-be pedants: yes, I _do_ mean 'compile-time' here.
