Thanks, Phillipe, for the response. I expect to incorporate Test::Database in the release after the present one. Not this release, since it would mean a fair bit of rework for the existing tests, and I really need to focus on getting the present release out before making any substantial changes.

Is there a way to find out how many testers have Test::Database installed and configured? It would be terrific if it were also possible to find out what drivers they have installed.

Best,
Nat

some important bugs,  before adding major new functionality.

Test::Database lets you say which drivers you support, and will
only provide handles for those. So when your module starts supporting
new drivers, it's just a matter of updating your list.

I'll be working on improving Test::Database during the QA Hackathon
in Vienna, so I'm interested in any feedback you have on issues with
this module.

Thanks,
