Thanks for the comment.

Incidentally, this may just come down to "everyone knows their own 
code best", but in my opinion I do have cleaner code than anyone else 
on CPAN, that I am aware of.  But this is the first time someone 
explicitely said so.  For the Perl community at large, it could serve 
as ammunition against all those people that think Perl is a 
write-only language.

As an update on the DBD::SQLite thing, the last thing I read on the 
SQLite users list is that the version for SQLite 3.0 has passed all 
of its major development hurdles, so I believe a version of 
DBD::SQLite incorporating 3.0 is imminent.  Unless you need to ship a 
solution immediately, I suggest starting with 3.0.  According to DRH, 
3.0 should be in production-ready status in August, but the timing 
depends on how many people test it in their work environments.  All 
of his own tests, plus all regression tests, already pass.
