Umm, the docs say:
: You have two choices, either a static method call using the name
: of your subclass:
:
: $dbh = MySubDBI->connect(...);
:
: or specifying a C<RootClass> attribute:
:
: $dbh = DBI->connect(..., { RootClass => 'MySubDBI' });
:
: The only difference between the two is that using an explicit
: RootClass attribute will make the DBI automatically attempt to load
: a module by that name (and not complain if such a module can't be
: found). If both forms are used then the attribute takes precedence.
Are you saying that you'd expect the second call to invoke
MySubDBI->connect(...) somewhere along the way?
If so, why are you not just using the first form?
