Why would we swap instead of set? swap suggests that h becomes other_h and vice versa. swap_internal_handle idea predates set_internal_handle. Is that the preferred operation? Was there some discussion about that at the BoF? No. I'm in dire need of that functionality for my DBIx::HA module, and I'm trying to make sure that I don't have to rewrite my code when there's an official release with a function that does that. It'll be set_internal_handle() and they'll probably be a get_internal_handle() (though tied(%$h) does that already :-) Tim.

DBI v2.0 will not introduce new user features, Never say never, or even will not :) More like the primary focus of DBI v2.0 is to enhance the DBI-to-DBD interface so that ... it will pave the way for v2.x to introduce them and introduce (a fairly limited number of) changes for DBD developers.
