These typically use the C libraries provided by database vendors. I doubt most of them support a feature like getting a socket somewhere else and treating it like it's a database connection they opened. It would at least mean doing custom C coding in every DBD you want to support, and may not even be possible with the vendor APIs. Making a DBD::mod_dbd is likely to be easier, IMO. Of course I've never written a DBD module myself, and the people who would really know are the ones on the DBI list. - Perrin
