Gerald, Unfortunately, I was experiencing a lot of other function dispatch problems with inheritance. It is very difficult to have confidence with the Perl dispatch mechanisms for OO, so I was too nervous to proceed with this, as there is quite an amount of code in DBIx::Recordset to both understand and test.
I switched everything over to a containment model instead and this meets my needs presently. I do have another question regarding Embperl scoping though. I was using the Perl::Module directive in my Apache config, expecting that any interpreter would get any global symbols defined in the module. However, these appear to be unavailable within my Embperl container. Do all global symbols not get sucked in by default?
