You've started correctly. Did you have a prefix in mind that is not already in use? Would 'sl_' be appropriate, for example? You can find the current list of assignments at about line 320 in DBI.pm, and 'sl_' appears to be available. (The longest current prefix is 'monetdb_'; if you requested 'spatialite_' as the prefix, that would be 3 characters longer than the current longest.) When the maintainers of DBI agree, they will (presumably) let you know that the prefix is OK, and the next release of DBI would record that change. You might even go so far as to provide a patch (against 1.616, or possibly against the SVN head version) to simplify their life as much as possible. -- Jonathan Leffler <jonathan.leff...@gmail.com> #include <disclaimer.h> Guardian of DBD::Informix - v2011.0612 - http://dbi.perl.org "Blessed are we who can laugh at ourselves, for we shall never cease to be amused."
