I'm using:
cpan> m DBI::Shell
Module id = DBI::Shell
CPAN_USERID TLOWERY (Thomas A. Lowery <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>)
CPAN_VERSION 11.93
CPAN_FILE T/TL/TLOWERY/DBI-Shell-11.93.tar.gz
MANPAGE DBI::Shell - Interactive command shell for the DBI
INST_FILE /opt/perl/snap/lib/site_perl/5.8.3/DBI/Shell.pm
INST_VERSION 11.93
It looks like there's code in there that *tries* to get
the slashing right, by permitting a backslash, but I haven't
traced down why it's not doing the right thing. It seems to keep
handing the backslash to the SQL parser, which is wrong.
I post here because I want to know if anyone else has seen this behavior,
or if it's just me. :)
