Driver Inquiry for HSQLDB

[Brendan W . McAdams]

I'm doing preliminary work on writing a driver for the pure java SQL 
Database "HSQLDB" (based upon the old Hypersonic SQL database), 
available at http://hsqldb.sourceforge.net.  HSQLDB is a 100% java, 
full featured SQL Database that I've found to be extremely powerful for 
lightweight, complex data storage and can be used in many methods, 
including a built in HTTP proxy.

Since I've been using it at work for Java, the interest has arisen in 
having access to it from our mod_perl systems.  I'd like to contribute 
a fully functional driver to the Perl community as I think many other 
people can benefit from it.

The obvious question of course is if a driver for this db exists 
already; google and CPAN searches indicate that one doesn't.

I'm proposing the following:
Driver Name:
DBD::HSQL
Prefix:
hsql_
If anyone has any objections, thoughts, etc. please let me know.  I'd 
like to get the OK to go ahead with the driver.
