Whod-a-thunk (a western United States colloquialism) it would be this 
complicated.  Well Siesta is still pretty new -- version-wise.  I guess 
I'm spoiled.  I'd say that 95%+ of the perl based packages I've 
installed and used have given me no problems verses only 80% of other OS 
and other programming language packages.

So are there any _really good_ reasons to use Class::DBI verses 
plain-old-DBI calls? (Am I using the right terms?)  And doesn't this, 
what appears to be a changing API, violate good OOP practices?  I am 
only at chapter 5 of Damian's book but this sticks in my mind.

Thanks for the pointers.
