Fellow DBIers, I was just discussing writing a callback on connect() to change authentication (my correspondent wants to use realm files). But then I discovered to my disappointment that there is no support for callbacks on connect(). This makes sense, frankly, since the method is called before the callbacks are applied, and callbacks execute before the method, not afterward (at least for now).
But I've found great use by adding callbacks on connected(), so that they execute just after a connection. So I was wondering how folks felt about the idea of adding a connecting() method that executes just before the DBI tries to connect to the database? I think this would be a nice complement to connecting(), and instantly make a simple interface for adding a pre-connection callback, too. Thoughts? Best, David
