May be a case of the docs not matching current reality.

When the bridge was started there was no reliable open odbc 3 DM about, 
so the bridge was designed to mimic a driver manager. Now unixODBC is 
there its not required (though it still can) to do the extra functions. 
However since then DBD::ODBC has now stated that it required a driver 
manager (for good reason IMHO, though I am biased :-). So all the above 
statements are true to a extent.
