About server-side prepare statement and embedded support (nutshell descriptions):
To enable server-side prepare, one has to simply build DBD::mysql using "perl Makefile.PL --ps-protocol" and in your code, you simply turn it on by appending ";mysql_server_prepare=1" in your DSN (Data Source Name) value in connect.
For embedded "perl Makefile.PL --force-embedded", and in your code, use a DSN of '$testdsn="DBI:mysqlEmb:database=test;mysql_embedded_options=--help,-- verbose";
These of course are very brief descriptions on how to use both of these new features, but please refer to the perldoc documentation with 2.9015_3 for a more thorough description.
Please feel free to use this list to post any questions you may have, and please enjoy using DBD::mysql!
