Dear Duncan,
thanks for taking on this job! I have recently started using SQLite
quite heavily from Perl scripts -- it is astonishingly efficient, even
for simple queries on a 70 GB database (Google's Web 1T 5-gram
database, in case someone's curious) with Perl callback functions --
so I'd be more than happy to see an up-to-date version of DBD::SQLite.
Since I'm lazy enough to rely on OS-provided SQLite installations on
various computers, I'm using at least three different old versions of
SQLite in parallel, DBD::SQLite being the oldest of all ... (no
compatibility problems at all, though, so kudos to all SQLite
developers!).
I have been stuck back at 3.4 for various issues.
I do Perl and C and offer some help.
Same here. I feel reasonably at home both in C and Perl, and I've
written some simple XS code. I don't have any experience with DBI,
which seems to have its own method of compiling C extensions for DBD
modules (from a quick look at the DBD::SQLite sources).
Just let us know how/whether we can help you!
Best regards,
Stefan Evert
